Cold World

Cold World

A Poem by nrbthe1st
"

A reflection on the state of the world.

"

Why are we faced with a world so cold?

Where all that people are after is bombs and gold

Will the world ever see someone so bold as to break the vice hold these things have on us

When the time comes what promise will the person hold will they be the iconic fifth horseman?

Or rather someone who refuses to see with the distortion provided by the very institutions we uphold

Someone who preaches peace and practices it too

 while vowing never to turn the other cheek

Because we are all equal in his eyes the strong and the meek

But unfortunately for now this does not mesh with the realpolitik

The world needs someone who does not govern by what is practical but rather what is right and just

Someone whose aim isn’t to gain a bust on a mountain

But rather to allow us to drink from the same water fountain

My aim is not to denounce all violence

because there will always be evil in the world

in front and behind us

all around us it spreads eating up virtue and filling innocents with lead

leaving thousands of the defenseless left for dead

what are we ever to do

well my friend that is left up to you

be the best person you can

always be just

be kind on to others that is a must

if everyone does this the world will be better

not just for you or for me not just for now but forever.
