      Of one light , or the glow of many. Of earth we are born, and of earth all return. struggles are about us all. Of one mind. Impossible it seems, yet of earth we are born, and of earth we all return. In a single life many are touched, as well may be destroyed. In peace we search for love and happines. War seeks an end as well a begining. Of earth born, we are bound to it's nature. to constant struggle. to constant change, and a constant seeking of peace. Of one light, or the glow of many. of earth we are born, and of earth we return.

      A World Filled With Peace
      
      My poem of power...  will fill the world with peace
      there'll be no sadness .. the violence will cease
      
      You'll go back to the days of yesteryear
      when doors remained open.. all night without fear
      
      We'll no longer worry about semiautomatics
      all guns would be gone.. there'll  be no fanatics
      
      Imagine the joy among all humanity
      no one will endure a life of insanity
      
      There'll be much affection..  no police needed for safety and protection
      no security alarms..  will be set for detection
      
      I truly look  forward to a world filled with peace
      and join every cultural in a ballroom feast

      i saw some good poetry on hubs in a couple of series called poetic license but every time i go to find them now they are all gone and if the profile is right the last person to name a series poetic license was banned.
      too bad because there was some good poetry there
      maybe hp doesnt like more than one hub series having the same name or using the same name more than once?
      i dont know but there were a few good poems there
      there still are some good poems here justnot as many now

      RELIGIONS
       
       
      The entire Buddhist monk’s life is but a preparation,
      For his Death Point or moment of separation.
       
      The Jains have santhara,
      Quitting life consciously to join with the paramatma.
       
      Hindus go into Samadhi,
      Where there is no Congress, Shiv Sena, BJP or Samajwadi.
       
      The Christian merges with the Holy Spirit,
      Peace, no more desperate.
       
      The Sufi mystic to become one,
      Dances, twirls, prays, trances to get the job done.
       
      Aghora means Illumined with Light,
      Longing for Shiva in whom they delight.
       
      Shamanism or the Art of Ecstasy,
      The ultimate being one with the super entity.
       
      There is no need to change your faith,
      And on your old religion lay a wreath.

   Pulling out by the roots all the evils of

   Without the resident evil  holding us
   all by the heart to be forever free.

    If I were to save the world
    with prose and mere words,
    I would speak ever so softly
    as to not wake or disturb.
    
    But I would announce loudly
    to those who would want to hear.
    Even the neighbor, who can only peek
    across the bushes and sneer.
    
    I would pick up his paper
    when it is raining and wet,
    and I would take it somewhere dry
    like his porch and leave it set.
    
    I would not yell at the politicians
    or anyone who didn't agree.
    I would do something nice
    so others could certainly see.
    
    We cannot change everyone
    but we can change who we are.
    Just something very little
    will certainly go far.
    
    So if I could change the world,
    it would not be by mere words and deeds.
    I would just try to make someone smile
    and by that plant some seeds.

    My Message to the World
    
    Agree to stop all violence,
    for pain results in hate.
    And if you cannot get along,
    for now, just separate.
    Put your ego in its place.
    Don't think of folks in terms of race.
    See someone else's child
    in each and every face.
    
    Care for creatures great and small
    if your heart's a human heart at all.
    Within you find your power and sense.
    Don't steal these things at someone's expense.
    
    Lend a hand.
    Dry a tear.
    Don't let others
    live in fear.
    Believe what you will
    about God or maker,
    but be a life-giver -
    not life-taker.
    
    Respect the world.
    Respect all life.
    Vow to battle
    grief and strife.
    Learn that kindness
    isn't weak.
    Learn to think
    before you speak.
    Gather wisdom
    where it grows.
    Know there's things
    you'll never know.
    
    Oh, World, we've so much work to do;
    but we can do it - me and you.

    Teach a child how to lose,
    If you truly want them to win.
    Teach them how to say please and thank you,
    And how to make new friends.
    
    Be there when they are sad and when they mess up
    And when they spill a glass of milk-help them clean it up
    
    Be the best that you can be-even when no one is around
    And when the world cuts you a break,
    Spread the break around.
    
    Teach your kids,
    Not to step on heads-in order to get to the top
    Teach them that true luxury has nothing to do with things that can be bought
    
    Kiss your kids and put them to bed with kindness and admiration
    And every chance that you get take a family vacation
    Slow down-don’t go so fast
    Not all problems will disappear
    If you don’t take time to love yourself you will never be able to see clear
    
    Life is too short to forget who you are-
    Ask yourself, if you don’t figure it out-
    How will you show your kids how to stand up and be proud?
    Your children are the future-
    Teach them the kindness of what can be
    
    If we can change the world it will start with you and me
    What we decide to do today and what we do tomorrow
    When it comes to our kids and the choices we make,
    We are deciding if our futures are filled with more happiness or more sorrow.

    I thought I made a reply to this a week ago.... OK!
    
    If I could fill the world with peace
    There'll be no saddness... Tne violence will cease
    
    We'll go back to the days of yesteryear
    When doors remained open all night without fear
    
    We'll no longer worry about semiautomatics
    All guns would be gone their be no fanatics
    
    Imagine the joy among all humanity
    No one will endure a life of insanity
    
    Nothing  but love.. Kindness.. and affection
    No security alarms needed or police for protection
    
    I truly look forward to a world filled with peace
    And join every culture at a ballroom feast

    Into this life. many lives are trampled. All for what it seems to be right to ones mind. Terror whips to the soul of those in constant turmoil within themselves. Courage dwells beneath. For all to stand as one being,as one solitare voice, and silence the call of war. no longer to hear weaping song of the lost,yet harmonise with the sound of peace.
                   
                     I like this one. took me a few minutes.

    Sit down and listen to the wind calling out toward us.
    It will not wait any longer for you the many it screams.
    One breathe and two exhales added with a inhale from a cigarette
    Then let in all the wind and water the flowers patiently.
    Let the viliot moon glow dow in neon red above the many many
    Go now and lay motionless under the saw blades of truth and
    Do not I say bleed when the cutting of wisdom begins

    LIFE
    A life is a long time
    to remain on the shore.
    To never take a chance, to never sail to more.
    
    A breath is a short time
    to declare a war.
    To just take for granted, the freedom from the gore.
    
    Forever is too long a time,
    to never open a door.
    To liberty and love, when all the hope is poor.
    
    So before this time runs out,
    and this diddy is a bore,
    Open up your heart and shout- I want to live for more!!

    Before you even decide
    Before you think you're better
    Take a look inside
    The glass house you are living in
    Is plain for all to see
    Before you pick the rock up

    Have you looked at the stars lately?
    Have you delved into its innermost being?
    Tell me, what do you see?
    What songs does she sing for you?
    Where do they lead you?
    
    Inside.
    
    Look for that voice of reason
    where love always flows.
    I can't describe it to you,
    for it will be different for everyone.
    
    Go there when times are tough.
    Go there when you are happy.
    It does not matter:
    Love has no preference.
    
    Love is all there is.

    A poem to change the world,
    What words could make men see
    The travesty and evil,
    this world as come to be?
    
    What words could one compose?
    That would embed tranquility
    Or end dismay and hopelessness
    And clean our air and sea?
    
    That one man or woman's pen
    Could write words to make man see
    That change must come from each of us
    So this, a better place would be
    
    A poem to change the world;
    Just what would my poem say?
    Would it speak of hate and greed?
    Or the love and kindness every day?
    
    What words could my poem say?
    That might ease the plight of poor
    More over remains the question
    Why now, they listened not before.
    
    SO I'll hearken not to write one
    But instead by actions and by deeds
    That I might make a difference
    To each soul I'm blessed to meet.
    
    Change may not come at once
    But in time we may all see
    If we but offer others hope
    With selfless anonymity

    To change the world
    
    The world is spinning so fast
    its over come with wrath.
    Children cry in the night
    trembling, hiding from fright.
    
    If a poem could change the world,
    I would see joy unfurled.
    Upon the masses ecstasy unleashed.
    Children no longer hiding from beasts
    
    free to play in sun and sand,
    never afraid to take a hand,
    never to know an unkind word,
    never to be just part of the herd,
    
    but cherished as a precious gift.
    Growing strong as their souls lift
    higher to heaven each blessed day
    forevermore to stay that way,
    
    innocent and free of care.
    If the world would stop and stare
    I’m sure we all would agree.
    A child is our greatest mystery
    ... our only hope for a new history.

    when poets run the world as if they already don't
    (but that's another subject entirely),
    when poets run the world,
    fractal rainbows appear by command performance
    above white castles in the orange sky
    and the throngs gather under the rainclouds
    to celebrate in their mud dance huts
    up to their elbows in a rugby scrum.
    
    when poets run the world,
    pavlov's bell will go unnoticed;
    in fact the whole clock thing will appear
    as the real illusion that it is.
    
    when poets run the world
    everybody's hands will be on their own switches,
    forgetting the manipulations,
    forgetting the machinations,
    remembering the God nature within everybody's everyone,
    everything will just be as the poet's dream.
    
    when poets run the world as if they already don't
    (but that is what the poets focus on),
    when poets run the world,
    the doors will open wide in a grand gesture bow
    and everyone will rise up in song
    at the festival of feasts and feats resumes
    in memories of what dreams unfold.
    
    when poets run the world,
    the news gossip will comfort the masses
    on this rollercoaster ride we call a planet;
    like springboards, eyes will turn to possibilities
    instead of eventualities and actuaries
    because the insurance man can go fuck himself,
    a sparrow doesn't need a policy for its nest,
    a sparrow builds to suit and dreams whatever
    it wants into existence
    and lest a sparrow fall was only an illusion
    in the first damn place.
    
    when poets run the world,
    well you know what?
    look around.
    
    life is a poem when poets run the world.

    The bible is like a map to God's Kingdom.
    Treasures n promises r all hidden in His words.
    All is there n given to us.
    see beyond the words
    meditate on them
    n trust God with the supernatural.
    Just allow Him to work wonders
    n make your life meaningful.
    And many people stumble, never to climb up again
    because they r leaning on their own strength n ability to sustain them.
    Know that the Lord wants u to lean on Him as your pillar of strength,
    to hold His hand n look up to Him
    n not to sway to the right or to the left,
    not letting Satan to pull u back,
    but allow God to push u up,
    allowing Him to take u to a higher level,
    to soar with Him.
    
    Live up to God's expectations, not men's.
    Please Him n achieve n succeed for Him.
    Give glory n praises to Him.
    
    Live your life as a living testimony for God.
    Be salt to the world.
    Be light to those in darkness.
    Be a history maker.
    Make your life count for Christ.
    Live a life that's worth living.
    
    nobody knows when the world will come to its end.
    Then, there would be no right and wrong,
    because justice then will no longer exist.
    Therefore the moment now,
    n make full use of your time here.
    do not let the evil one or anybody pull u down,
    or influence your principle in what's right.
    Stand firm on your beliefs.
    Discern right from wrong, based on the Lord's wisdom.
    do not go astray, but go back to your Creator.
    Love Him as He 1st loved u.
    do right n don't go against your conscience.
    Hear the still,small voice in u
    Know it's there n it's right.
    but sometimes u doubt yourself.
    have peace within your heart.
    hold on to the things u believed r true
    put your trust in Him.
    be faithful.
    for He's always faithful
    n He'll never leave u.
    
    Don't go through each day
    without a sense of purpose.
    Thank God for all that He had done for us.
    It's because of His love that u n me get to live.
    His death brought life.
    Let's live for Him.

       Wow great responses. I already wrote the poem I'd give to the world to change things. It's called turd stepping. It basically says that we are all going to face problems but how we deal with them will determine how we ourselves as well as other cope and feel about each day.
