We exit the womb with nothing more
than our birthday suit and placenta
till our first wail declares us unveiled
as a part of Earths agenda.....
We all were made of nothing
God formed men all from the soil
and a single rib gave women life
sharing beauty, sweet and unspoiled
For centuries we have all survived
making something out of nothing
forging tools and finding needed foods
amidst odds that were quite numbing
the ingenuity was stunning
and mankind grew by simply loving
by simply loving......
From caves to huts then cities rose
from nothing..... moving upward
to civilized clans with splendid plans
thus society was structured
though sometimes it was ruptured
by wars and many suffered.
But love endured and rest assured
love will linger on forever
it can’t be erased, hate can’t replace
love by man’s worst endeavors
Though many tried and many died
the love we share lives on
in memories that are handed down
to infants freshly drawn,
from wombs that fertilize the seed
recreating life to fill the need
of newborn hopes that might succeed
in ridding us of "hate and greed"
Every child so full of innocence
not yet touched by earth’s woes tainted
might find some ways to help make peace stay
bringing new hope not yet painted.
But we must shield them from prejudice
that our parents handed down
It has always been our nemesis
it cannot be their inheritance
or they too will slowly drown...
in the mire hate has brought us
one by one help them astound
us by all their new ways to ust love
in a world where hates not found
They can change earths grief around
if they never hear the sounds
of angst and bitter rage against
the different races that abound
wouldn’t it just be profound??
But it takes more than a village
men will always rape and pillage
till the newest crop of young dreams stop
all that we have found quite chilling
with a new generation willing
to put an end to hate and killing
making all lives more fulfilling
A man can dream ….can’t he??
and a woman can pray eagerly
but a child can make it all reality
start with your next child
and just let them be
the answer to the peace we need
lest we all become of nothing
and there's nothing left to grieve!
