Ugly world

 

Violence on the rise,

splattered stuffed toys

caked in rust coloured blood,

innocence cries;

a tide of uncertainty

over unsteady seas.

This world so ugly.

 

I wish I could

paint some colour

into the scenery.

I'd blow a strong breeze,

clearing the hazy hate away,

leaving only wide-open seas

instead of these

darkening shades

of grey-tinged misery

 

I’d wish upon a shooting star,

throw all my coins in a fountain,

seek clovers of all kinds.

Search high mountains

and low valleys, looking for hope

in this world of unease.

I’d row my boat

over unpredictable seas.

In hope to share,

to show that we care.

 

This world so ugly,

a hug is what it needs.

Warm away the coldness

that freezes hearts mid beat,

that echoes through

songs that no longer sing

the way they are supposed to.

I wish for a world

where borders are never closed.

Where we don't let hate blind our eyes

and we can re-open the ones closed tight.

So, they won’t miss

all the wonders you can find

and all of the people

with beauty living inside.
