How?

(Picture Credit - Quotefancy)

You are right my friend:

The World is full of evil,

Full of inequality

Poverty, crime and fraud.

Of endless cruelty by inhuman humans

Fuelled or fed by drugs

And a lust for Money.

Radicalised robots rampage everywhere,

All brainwashed and conditioned

By social media.

They slump over their mobiles,

Looking for Pokemons

And their next fix.

We know there has to be a better way.

But how can we re-educate

These seething masses?

How can we snap them out

Of their reverie,

Filled by Celebrity

And sugar?

I call myself a Lifist

And Humanist,

As I cherish Life in all its forms – except wasps!

And I Love People

In spite of all their wicked ways.

Love’s Power lingers in my heart.

But how do we get this message across?

In the good olde days

Religions ruled

Through Fear of Hell

And worse.

For Science has changed all that.

People no longer Believe

In Anything

Except Money

And Power.

All You Need is Love

Is what John Lennon said.

So why are we waiting

For people to listen?

Such a simple message

That you know is right:

Love Life.
