This is not a poem about me, but a view given to me by “My friends in another world. Could be that this is the way “They see so many of mankind” in the way most people think.
Personally I see this world as a truly wonderful place, but it really is amazing how we have this ability to know what is best for others and try to change them, when really we need to change ourselves first
THE WAY IT IS
I ASKED THAT I MIGHT SEE AND MY EYES WERE OPENED
I ASKED THAT I MIGHT HEAR AND MY EARS WERE OPENED
I ASKED THAT I MIGHT FEEL AND MY SENSES WERE OPENED
BUT I DID NOT LIKE
WHAT I COULD SEE, HEAR AND FEEL TO ME IT WAS SO UNREAL
SO I ASKED THAT I MIGHT UNDERSTAND
AND MY MIND WAS OPENED BUT
I COULD NOT PERCEIVE WHAT WAS PUT BEFORE ME
SO I ASKED THAT I MIGHT GO BACK TO MY OLD SELF
I WAS PUT BACK TO HOW I WAS
NOW I SEE, HEAR, FEEL AND UNDERSTAND NOTHING
I ALSO KNOW NOTHING WORTH KNOWING
AND THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY
BECAUSE NOW I AM JUST LIKE MOST EVERYONE ELSE
IN THIS WORLD I NOW FIT INTO THE WAY THINGS ARE
I KNOW THERE ARE THOSE WHO, SEE, HEAR, FEEL
AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IS PUT BEFORE THEM
BUT I THINK, THEY ARE “STRANGE” TO BE THE WAY THEY ARE
IT IS SO MUCH EASIER TO BE THE WAY I AM
IT IS SO GOOD TO BE ONE OF SO MANY
WHO FEEL AND ACT THE SAME WAY AS ME
I HAVE QUITE A GOOD LIFE DOING WHAT I DO
I THANK MY GOD MOST DAYS FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT I HAVE
I ALSO ASK HIM MOST DAYS TO STOP ALL THE WARS
AND TO HELP ALL THOSE WHO ARE STARVING AND SUFFERING
ALSO TO MAKE THE WORLD
A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN BUT IT JUST SEEMS TO KEEP ON HAPPENING AND IT HAS BEEN THE SAME WAY FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS
I DO WONDER SOMETIMES WHY IT IS THE WAY IT IS
BECAUSE IF THINGS WERE TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
THIS WOULD BE A WONDERFUL WORLD TO LIVE IN...
To me the world would be a truly wonderful place to live if we all changed to let in a different way “Of Being” World peace now that would be something worth fighting for (Just a play on words)…. love bubbles to all… Joseph
