A Children`s Guide to the World

a poem of no consequense.

After having breakfast ( tea and toast, and lots of it !),

and feeding the cat, I decided to look at the world.

A round ball, sometimes green, sometimes blue,

hanging between small lights. Looks very nice.

Some of the lights are near, some far away.

Covered in white stuff that moves , but so slowly,

you have to stand still to see it move.

There are places on this ball that are low, and places that are high.

If you are on a high place, you must be careful not to fall off.

Occupied by a lot of people, busy eating and doing things to produce children.

Mostly the same, some have a different colour and talk in their own way.

Some of these people don`t like other people, and do bad things.

(Like hitting them over the head with big sticks).

They will probably not survive, but if they do , they won`t believe it anyway.

Author's Note

a really silly poem, written ( maybe) for children.
I probably won`t keep it for too long.

No, No, No, Do not put this away... It is wonderful, needs to be read by everyone. This was a recommended read by a wonderful soul.

Glad she mentioned this to me as a read request... Again, keep this posted - Please.

This might be written in a childlike style but it's by no means childish. It really does display the rights and wrongs of our world, and, whilst smiling at the really sweet way you've put things, i think it's a poem to think about.

And, how true those last words are .. 'they won't believe it anyway.'
