Wales' Tales 2/9/15



The world is in a sorry shape
With wars, and floods and storms,
One might expect a change in things -
Instead we see these norms.
With neighbor killing neighbor,
And drug deals going bad,
With hi-jackings and terrorists,
I have to think it’s sad
To know that after centuries
We humans have not grown
Instead we seem to reap the pain
From all the seeds we’ve sown.
Why don’t we learn that violence
Is not the way to go?
That eye for eye and tooth for tooth
Is just a way so slow
That keeps the anger growing,
That lets hate overflow
Until the world is in this mess
As we so easily know.
The problem is we do not trust
The people at our door,
So trying to accept the folk
From far hurts even more.
But we forget that there’s a bond
That links us one to one,
From when the chaos ruled the dark,
When creation was begun.
God set the way  to peace, you see,
When making you and me,
A plan that called for sharing love
As we were meant to be.
And if we really want to change,
Our fighting then to cease,
We need to put our trust in God,
And seek the road to…
                                    Peace,
