Picture It

This was entirely spontaneous...

Picture a planet of blue & of green

Spinning around in a black that's supreme

Aside from glowing pinpricks of stars

Burning gaseous balls, miles apart.

And on that coloured, spinning sphere

That we have, suspended here

The conditions are exactly right

To birth all varied branches of life.

Tiny molecules of Hydrogen & Helium

Made waves of energy and I'm still feelin' 'em

We're compiled out of the same stuff as the stars

We're all family, just scattered far apart

And if you'd listen to your spirit and your heart

You'd understand it's been this way right from the start.

Things develop into other things.

Energy is never destroyed.

Nature always takes the easiest path -

A strategy we haven't deployed.

Pushing for instant gratification

Steeped in the blood & bones of nations

But the people on the streets boil with frustration

So I wanna know: what's the real motivation?

The world is being turned into a giant corporation

But I don't know one person who wants that.

They're passing bits of legislation

So silently, we can't fight back.

But then again, we don't have the brains

This education is a sham

Making knowledge & wisdom sources of pain

And molding all the kids that it can

Into direction-taking,

Smile-faking morons

With heads full of rules, shame & fear

When they started out reactive, like Boron

Fizzing with electric-spark ideas.

My emotion and my intellect

Can be a struggle to connect

Sometimes, it's more feeling than words

Speaking the language that cannot be heard.

Energy, subtle vibrations and more

Are all being neglected.

And all of our aching spirits are sore

Because LOVE is being rejected.

Misdirected, chopped and screwed

We don't know what the f**k to do

The answer lies in being TRUE -

The one thing we refuse to do.

There's no place for love in this world of men.

And this world has to fall.

Rebuilt from the ashes, to rise again -

A world created for all.

I like how this turned out, please let me know what you think :)

This poems speaks volumes on the human condition today (materialism, laziness, greed and hatred).
'Energy, subtle vibrations and more
are all being neglected
and all of our aching spirits are sore
because love is being rejected'.
There, in the above words, you wonderfully and poetically capture our human divine spiritual nature and the ignoring of it in our modern materialistic society.

You are truly wise to appreciate and be aware of the simple yet vital elemental aspects of our human experience on this beautiful yet misunderstood Earth.

well done

You took a good beginning and built upon it... whyever would you "end" it?

[...]

Big letters can hurt my eyes. But here is nice flow Very strong message of freedom and purpose. I can imagine can be also made like some good song.
