If You Could See What I See

a little spin on sylvia brown's book.........

i see a world where people have forgotten who they are
i see a world where money has become more valuable than people
i see a world where the belief is war is necessary
i see a world full of "adults" who haven't a clue how to compromise, work through their differences or how to accept those differences
i see a world where acts of corruption and crime go ignored while acts of dissent are punished
i see a world where the personal lives of celebrities are more newsworthy than the suffering of persons in war torn countries
i see a world where people pray to a god they think is the right god of choice
i see a world where people worship this god then abuse, neglect and kill themselves and one another
i see a world where people blame a being they call satan whenever a human being does something horrifying
i see a world where energy sources such as wind, solar and the ocean have yet to be embraced in the way nuclear, coal and oil are

i see this world and i cry.
i see this world and i scream in rage.
then i remember again who i am.
and i cry some more.
and i rage some more.
and then i feel a sense of hope.
and i continue on.
