Here is a new one some of you may not have seen before. This one was published a few years ago in a 2016 collection from The Polar Expressions Publishing.
With all that is going on in the world right now I thought I’d post and share it here for the first time.
Enjoy!
Unity

Let’s mend and build bridges, not stupid walls,
Let’s work together before the whole world falls.
When can we have not war but peace?
Will the gunfires and bombs never cease?
Learning to get along is how to fix the problem;
We look down on history, but there still exists racism.
Why can’t people just work together?
Why do they fight and kill each other?
History tells us of both slavery and war,
But nothing has changed today is a new scar.
Why do we waste our time with all this nonsense?
Would it really help to be separated, living behind a fence?
We are all part of the same world and home,
This is our earth, we should all be free to roam.
Why can we not live together as one?
Who doesn’t wish for stereotypes to be done?
We are all humans, one in the same,
Our differences make us unique, like a name.
Why is there a need for defences?
Why do we offer one another offences?
Blocking and ignoring each other is not the answer,
We should instead spend our time finding a cure for cancer.
Will freedom ever be a true reality?
Or will it be something we never live to see?
Mankind needs to learn that war is not the solution,
Instead of fighting, find a way to end pollution!
ALL lives matter, but has the world gone mad?
These days and time we live in are just too crazy and sad.
Why can’t people respect one another for who they are?
We bring doomsday upon ourselves, the apocalypse won’t be far.
