This Life

What was the dream?
The day he created earth
The vision he had for the future
Has it come to pass?
As the layer thins out
And deserts grow wider
As nations squabble for abundance
At the cost of the peasants
Was this the dream?
Has the world passed the test
Or are we headed for doom
When will it appreciate the ant
For it too has a role
Can the happenings be explained
Better yet, what is your purpose?
Is this what you are here for?
That a brother harms a sister
Neighbours reject their neighbours
At the time of need
That even though people are the same
They find difference in all
Is the forest not harmonious?
How do they know where to be and what to be
With a brain believed lesser than human
Is peace a dream...or myth
Or is life attempting to create this myth
Where is the dream?

Ta,
Budgie
