OUR WORLD

Our world

We are all sitting somewhere on a

A chair in our own homes

A bench in the garden the park

Or avenue

A stool in a bar

Or at our desks

Standing on a

Pavement

A sidewalk

The grasses

The sand at the beaches

In our own homes

The gardens

The parks

Watching and observing

Everyone that is there

Taking in the magic?

Or just a stare

What if we care?

Instead of just letting it passes over

Strolling along on this world of ours

Heaving

Shoving

Pushing

Shouldering

Over-crowding

Jostling for spaces

The vast open spaces

Now going and gone

Construction

Erection

Creation!!!

Production

It is everywhere

Destruction

Our lands near and far

Demands

Pressures

Stresses and strains

What are we gaining?

Winning

Or is the losing?

With nothing to gain

Do we fight back?

Or let it go?

This is our world

Do we want or need it so
