Just For You Poetry

When I survey this world amid'st it's blight,
with famine, storms and threats of global war;
Are we descending unto final night?
I must do more then view this from afar.

No longer do we know the wrong from right,
we're drowning in a world of greed and lust;
Can we no longer see the blessed light
and strive to gain a brotherhood of trust?

With providence so seldom in our sight,
we seek the light in many myriad ways;
For freedom from this world's embittered plight.
we struggle in our search for brighter days.

My time is spent, my pen won't spare this plight,
but hope and faith e'er spur my need to write.

A plea for the brotherhood of all mankind.

A plea that desperately needs to be heard Joseph.

Our generations came through hard times to appreciate the beauty of peace and fellow man; abundance of kindness and generosity to all.
I just don't understand why now the world is in such disharmony, maybe too many have too much and respect is a thing not taught enough of.

Your well written sonnet reflects the unfortunate sad state of affairs we find ourselves in, Joseph. I despair at the thought of living in such a world and constantly have to jerk away from the horror we are confronted with while corrupt politicians and greedy men rape the rest of mankind. And then they gloat as seen in a very recent session of a Parliament. Sad, very sad.

A wonderful sonnet you have penned here, Joseph. The third stanza did it for me.

You certainly did write this "Must Write sonnet" as you are noble in spirit Joseph and may many poets follow and make a plea such as yours. Brotherhood of all mankind is the key which has to open all the bitter hearts in the world and what a wonderful world it would be if they could heal....

An inspiring write Joseph, this world will be a better place only if we all think like you do.
