Save The Children

I believe l published a similar poem some years ago which l was moved to write because of world events at the time. We are all members of the human race; Who sets the pace, who decides what trials we face? Some are born with a silver spoon in the mouth; Some have very little to shout about. In some countries people live peaceful lives; In others conflict and mayhem are on the rise. Thousands flee their homes every day; Nowhere to go, nowhere to stay. Tired and drawn, unhappy and worn; Dragging battered suitcases with handles broken or torn. I think of the children deprived of a home; The many children who are forced to roam. How l wish the world could become a better place; Embracing every member of the human race. What is your wish? Pixabay image.

You wrote a wonderful poem, so appropriate for our difficult times. I am very concerned about the actual situation, is the end of the world getting close?

@Kandae11 - What is really changing, is the increase in natural disasters and climate change.

According to the Scriptures - no one knows the exact time, but signs were mentioned like : wars and rumors of wars ( which has been happening for centuries anyway). Also an increase in natural disasters- climate change will ensure that. Also the heart of man will become desperately wicked - there was wickedness centuries ago too...

I know l am wishing for things which hardly seem likely when one considers the history of the world. But as they say : Better to live in hope rather than die in despair".

I think you've put it very well. The world is such a mess at the moment.

@Kandae11 Unfortunately it might be the latter.
