BEAUTIFUL NIGHT by Sunshine - Its dark and cold not much light So I find my joy in the sky to night A big round moon with his face so bright Giving us warmth on this winter night Beautiful stars that sparkle and shine All most stand still as if lost in time Such a beautiful place this world can be If we look around the wonders we see Night has its beauty as much as the day The silence a bonus as we here the trees sway And as the world sleeps I await the new day Praying and dreaming of love ones far away. ~ Written by Sunshine.......

Mans Greed

This world was born in a blast of light,
Sad that man, should soon lose sight.
Of those who are suffering, needlesly,
Of mans great greed, of those in need.

This planets change, is trying to tell,
That some still live in a living hell.
Some, just simply turn their head.
It's not my fault, you have no bread.

Before to long, they will all be dead.
What's the use, I've heard it said.
Man, take note of what you do,
You still have time, you know you do.

Mankind take heed of what happens here,
Time will come when men will sneer.
It was not me, it was my peer.
But heads will roll, its time to fear.

Please save this planet, a great creation.
Save those hungry, and in starvation.
Give the chance of life, of living.
A bright new world, a new beginning.

Well done. We all need to hear our concience. Even though it's frustrating when I write to my MP and get the usual bland partyspeak back, I won't stop. Very thoughtful and on the button.

Writing to your MP is akin to throwing a coin into a wishing well, it sinks and never sees the light of day again!

Hello Kenanstiss

a poem with a strong message to the world..in order to change things we have to start with ourselves, our families, our neighbourhood and the ripples will go out...it just takes one person to make a stand and be that example. In the meantime we can each do our part to show we care...writing to the MP as a single person might not hold much sway, but publish it in the local paper or anthology (lol) and your voice will gather strength..then the MP has to take notice.
Well done on getting published!
Very Happy :hug3
Orcadia

Thank you Orcadia for your kind words, if only more people were less greedy, we wouldn't be in the sad financial difficulties we are in now, billions of anything, could help so many poor throughout the world. :hug3

Thanks Ghetto for stopping by and your comment, there is so much people can do to help those in need, just wish the govenments of the world could get it together, like they do when they find themselves stuck in a financial crisis,shame on all of them. :respect
