Please

I pray for peace
Please allow your love
To rain down on this earth
We live in a time
When people are becoming
More separated
Where people are hurting each other
While people are hurting this planet
People are lost and disjointed
Without any type of connection
To what reality truly means
Living in an illusion
Not understanding 
Their real worth
And the ultimate reality
We are all connected
I pray that people
Will begin to see
And stop the wars
And the judgment
And the crimes
And the pain
And start understanding
No life is ever forfeit
For greed or gain
And no life
Is any less sacred
Or has any less purpose
Than any other life
We must come to accept this
Please I am asking you
Wake up
Whoever is out there
Its not too late
Even as crazy 
As the world is
Its never too late to wake up
Waking up to yourself
Waking up and sensing
The spirit that is inside
But more importantly
Being able to feel and to see
The spirit inside of everything else
Responding out of love and kindness
Instead of hate and anger
Learning to love in whole
And complete ways
And learning to show mercy
And kindness to the people
That need it the most
I pray and plead
Please wake up
Its not too late
We can still turn 
Things around
There is still hope
The choice 
Is with all of us

As Robin Williams put it in his tour 'Weapons of self destruction' "I think in 2012 we have just woken up from 'I don't give a sh** mode' and are realizing the damage we've done" I can see your point but most are just not up to anything anymore, our world is running dry on hope and waiting for the next great apocalypse but we don't want to do anything for it to come. 'I despise your apocalyptic society'-Nightwish, Song of myself Nice writing, sounds a bit like 'Watching, as I lay dying' If you wanna check it out ^^ I will say it seems as if you write tons of poetry. Not a bad thing but I feel writing pondered can be better concentrated. jus' saying ^.< Thanx for writing and well done! I enjoyed reading.

Well I guess for me I have been able to see and feel how many people have actually been waking up to the same truths and for me there was a period when I wasn't writing that often but then there seemed to be a period when it seemed and felt like I just began to pour forth all of these different poems that a lot of times when I was done even I was surprised by the ideas and thoughts that came out but I do know that I have written quite a bit but a lot of it was during my more sensitive and open days and I tend not to write 4 or 5 or even 6 poems at a time a day. Its more like 2 every time and maybe a week or so but it was during that period where a lot of my poems came from.

Not understanding Their real worth/ for when we realize just how precious we are, how life is, everything else melts away. It really does!
Its never too late to wake up
Waking up to yourself
Waking up and sensing
The spirit that is inside

You re pretty prophetic, my friend

[Ahmad Cox]

Thank you. I wrote this during my earlier more fertile poetic stages but its amazing to see how some of my earlier more prophetic minded poems I wrote some time last year are becoming even more true today.

[Bound In Red]

As Mia said, this is an uplifting write and it is important to realize that everyone can change the world be changing yourself for good. And being happy with yourself.

[Ahmad Cox]

Yep as Ghandi says you are the light you want to see in the world. We have to come together if we are truly going to progress.

[Mia]
