One Voice, Huge Steps to Take…2017
No world implores my sentiments,
with or without me it shall turn
on its cosmic axis in infinite space,
and time a race I shall never win,
yet I speak for all whose voices earn
nothing in a world of bleak rhetoric,
an epidemic of lies.
I hear truths too profound to ignore,
speak as if the epiphany is transformative,
and this world will listen to reason,
seasons apart and running scared,
yet who may grasp the need
and still have means
to afford the change?
One voice may echo for a time,
yet if no-one takes up the cause,
none shall change,
and tomorrow will endure the mistakes of yesterday,
unrelentingly,
the greed and oppression of the few,
to tear our world apart.
Dogmatic religion wrong, war wrong,
inequity wrong, inequality wrong,
monopoly wrong, oppression wrong,
racism wrong, division wrong,
all of which need to have consequence
in order to cull the dead wood from progressive life,
delivering a future with promise.
Laws need be made for global restructure,
those who instigate conflict…criminals,
those who harm in the name of religion…criminals,
those, and governments who oppress people….criminals,
those who enslave people for political purpose…criminals,
countries who threaten world peace…criminals:
criminals must be prosecuted under Global laws.
We do not need a single world government,
just a system of Global Justice,
for without it, the world remains the same,
at the brink of a crisis that will end us all,
for without justice, there will never be freedom,
never be a free trade world with equity
that benefits all humanity.

And justice must be served, justice for the right to global peace. Very well stated verse, Tony.
Much appreciated Phyllis. We need change, and it doesn’t look good out there.
You are right, Tony, it does not look good out there. I hope our new president does not fall victim to those before him who are bent on destruction rather than peace. Enjoy your New Year’s Eve. May your 2017 be all you hope for, with good health, happiness and lots of love. I am so happy for you with the gift of tickets to see Adam and his family. What a blessing for you, Tony.
Yes it was a blessing and I’m so looking forward to meeting my last born grandchild. Trump is very much underestimated. It has been the status quo, Obama and Clinton, if she’d gotten in, that are connected to the western alliance, the elite that are draining your Fed Res and creating wars globally. Even this vendetta against Putin, claiming their computer hacks affected the election, is such a farce, the source traced back to an IP address in Homeland Security.(inside job) Trump isn’t a part of these groups and may surprise people: the man is no idiot and the persona people object to, is not the real man. I pray things will get better, but Trump is still up against the financial powers of the independent Fed Res. It will be interesting. Have a wonderful New Year my friend.
