Step out side my body
I wondered what it would be like...to step outside my body?
to be free of all the constraints we humans face
to float above the tree tops and see the earth stretched out below me
and try to understand this human race?
We talk openly of compassion but show little to those in need
and hear the same old excuses time and time again…
still the wealthy get even wealthier flaunting all they have
building rockets for a joyride is just insane.
As I float above our nations I see fires burning fiercely
the clouds so thick that they blot out the shining sun
some rivers overflowing, over whelming everything
others so dry that life has been undone.
I see the atmosphere high above me protecting my small world
but it is straining so very hard to protect us all
on the ground we still have nations fighting for their glory?
But the truth is that in war its all of life that has to take the fall.
I see a world so very beautiful but with misery and despair
I see hope crushed beneath the weight of all we know
the human mind is boundless and not governed by nations borders
why is it that war seems to be the only way we grow?
If we could all just step outside our bodies be free of life’s constraints...
would we all view our world in a completely different way?
Or would there still be those mindless haters, those greedy money takers
who care not if it’s the world that has to pay?
