Gaia cried

Short poem writen as my attempt to understand the worlds problems

Gaia Cried

The world cried for peace
The people cried for justice

The world cried for understanding
The people cried for tolerance

The world cried for kindness
The people cried for hope


The rich cried for money
The leaders cried for power
The lustful cried for passion
And the armies cried for war
Meanwhile the innocents just cried

What hope for the desperate?
What food for the hungry?
What charity for the poor?
What love for the unwanted?
And what hope for us all?
