Bend the World

Bend the World

A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg
"

The World's Always Changing...Why Don't You Help

"

It’s time to get things in order

Take control of your world.

Don’t wait for anyone’s approval.

The only one you need is yours.


Someone once told me that everything was solid-

That you’d always feel the ground beneath your toes,

But I beg to differ with a finger pointing upward

Because I know that everything can always grow.

The world’s ever changing and so are we.

So, how the hell are we supposed to be

Able

Be able

To see 

Where 

We

Should
Go!

 

Where we must go

And all those we must meet

Until we have met everyone and there’s no one left to greet.

The ebb and flow

Of space and time and every thing

And all the new things that every new thing might bring.

So bend the world

To your will

And we’ll start this spinning again.


I’ve come to find that all it all is is jello

Time is ever sloshing by, squishing between your toes.

The only out’s to point yourself upward

And with a shout and jerk; up and away you’ll go.

The world needs changing, and starts with me

And you with me if you indeed agree.


So let us launch off

And shoot up to the stars.

Hitched a wagon to one long ago

But never go tooooo far.


Where must we go

And -oh-who must we meet?

Can we ever meet everyone till we’ve no one left to greet?

The ebb and flow

Of space and time on everyday

And all the new things that every new day might bring.

So bend the world

To your will

And we’ll start this spinning again.

A poem that makes a lot of sense. We must look at the world with eyes of no fear. With the desire to do better then the people a head of you.
"But I beg to differ with a finger pointing upward
Because I know that everything can always grow."
A very good ending to a outstanding poem. Good to see your words on the writing site.
