New World

The world is filled with hatred,
The darkness is slowly taking over,
We must fight to be free.

We must bring fourth a new world,
A world with joy and happiness,
We must fight with the power of light.

Expel sadness and suffering,

Banish hatred and anger,
Defeat pain.

The world is turning to chaos,
We must rid the evil,
That lies within us.

Set ourselves free,
Let's build a new world,
But first we must stand as one.

The poor and the rich,
The straight and the gay,
We must band together.

Fight the dorment evil inside,
Then bring light to the new world,
Saving our souls from darkness.

We must fight for freedom,
Never giving into evil,
Release our selves from our own hell,
Then be welcomed into the new world.

beautifully written. good job

Definately powerful poem! I can relate to it so well. Its true its difficult to get away from evil..the darkness it can give.. in our own soul. Having hatred.. and sadness... and all the negative feelings, it'll tear us apart. It'll bring us to the pit. I love the message here. ^^ I seek peace and light in my own soul..myself.. i'm not there yet.. but hopefully i'll get there someday. ^o^ this was inspiring!

very powerful(:

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

powerful call to the light with the understanding that change must begin within each individual before it can extend outward and benefit all~ well done!

[DearSweetAgony]

I agree completely with the wonderful truthful write.
But how are you supposed to offer your hand to a world that won't grab hold to it?
This poem is very true, but the hate in this world over powers the love.
Its much easier to hate someone than to love them.
But then again thats just my opinion.
Great write you did a terrific job with the feeling.

[SilentLullabies]

I absolutely agree with this poem :)

samurai212,

If one person calls you a donkey, ignore him
If a second one calls you a donkey, it’s time to buy a saddle and ride

An old Yiddish saying I believe, however some weight this holds.

It is much easier for us to hate the hated, than love the unloved

Pondering your write (repugnance) comes to mind.
Understanding where hatred is birthed is indeed the first place to start. You have captured this with much wisdom that we are all born with, yet seem to lose or misplace as the years pass.

“We must rid the evil,
That lies within us.”

“We must fight for freedom”
Other's and their actions are not just the chains which enslave us - There is no excuse why each of us can’t make our own dent from within. Perceptions viewed…

“Release our selves from our own hell,”
As individuals we all have a part, starting within. Yes we create our own hell. We want what we don’t have. We are always attacking ourselves. Creating who we are from what were not.

Wonderful and enlightening write – Might be a little easier to understand if we could create a step by step manual.

If I might add a few corrections…

We must bring fourth (forth) a new world,

Fight the dorment (dormant) evil inside,

Release our selves (ourselves) from our own hell,

Thanks again for the write.

Have you consider (if you haven’t already) submitting this to Poetic Infusions contest (book 3 Enlightenment)?

Have A Great Day
