Chaotic World

About the worldeive in!

The world passes us by,

neglecting to slow down.

Hearts are full,

waiting to be harvest.

Self absorbed people, to busy to listen.

 

We hunger and thirst to be accepted,

to be liberated from evil doings.

Our bodies are like an ocean

ebbing out to shore, then back out to sea.

We sink beneath sorrows.

 

Tribulations surround us,

filling our souls with misery.

Tranquillity is lost among the chaos.

The world has stolen everyones peace,

it's like a poisonous  disease,

trying to fit in, to be something we're not.

 

We feel alone, worthless, unvaluable.

Our longsufferings are neverending.

We want to vanish somewhere in time,

stop the clock and live alittle.

Live our life styles more bountifully,

and wake up from the whirl wind of this world.

 

When morning comes,

peacefully now the light of day.

Arise, gaining new strength.

Small groups thinking and talking.

Filled with selfrespect.

Dreams being dreamed.

Slowing down and taking a breath,

Knowing the world will always be a cave of wonders.

This is so true, I really notice that this year people self absorb, too busy etc. I have always been a people watcher, and I always try to be nice to everyone. Just sending a smile can help someone. But I have notice when I have been out shopping or somewhere you pass people buy they are always on the cell phone or you happen to catch someones eye and smile and omg they dont even smile back anymore. Busy busy busy stress stress stress.
I enjoyed this read thanks so much for sharing with me.

[Pandora]

The poem really grabs you, and expresses a lot of emotion. The ending is really nice, as it ended on a happy note that blended in beautifully.

[Nothing Personal]

Well, It's the universal optimism that the writer's hope for. I like where you started and where you took this poem.. Great message and a true poem for this generation..A generation that has no time to stand & stare..

[Marie Harrison]

Very uplifting poem. I love it.

[Coyote Poetry]

A poem with a very good message. Took me many years to lean to separate work from pleasure. We must do things to make money to live. But we must leave time to celebrate being alive. Many wonderful thing to see and touch. A outstanding poem. I like the final two lines. We must stop and figure what we truly need.
