I used to think I wanted to be happy, no matter what.
And then I remembered something I’d forgot.
People who laugh in the face of despair.
People who only pretend to care.
People who giggle constantly and never frown.
Who hee hee and guffaw and behave like a clown.
Who have no self awareness and only obsession.
Who care only about their next possession.
I realised that happiness is great when it’s there,
But what’s really important is simply to care.
I look at the World with a concerned frown.
Wondering when the pyramids turning around.
When humanity’s compassion rules once more.
When we’ve showed those vile creatures the door.
When decisions are taken for people and the Earth.
When finally we see, what we’re ALL worth.

Nice thoughts Rashelle – you have placed a lot of what is going wrong in the world as well as a little that is needed to solve most problems- just loving care – in a very nice little nutshell .. getting older and wiser are all of us I think .. well written and may you always care and be cared for …

Excellent! Your poem spells it right out. One at a time we can do this until it infects the herd and cannot be ignored any longer.
