Morning thoughts as the fog lifts…

Is it possible
for the tyranny, greed,
and corruption in the world
to lift?
For wars and violence
to end?
For so-called ‘leaders’
to be banished
to an island,
or roman coliseum,
to fight
amongst themselves,
take their quarrels away
from the everyday person,
who simply wants
to live…
to wake up in their own home,
to have safety, security, peace,
to have food, water, shelter,
to be surrounded
by family and friends,
to go to work or school,
to take a quiet walk
to their favourite café,
or community park,
to stop and talk
to their neighbours on the street,
to watch the sunrise or sunset,
to sit by a lake or river,
or go to the theatre or a movie,
to gather to celebrate
or gather because they can,
when it comes down it,
and everything is stripped away,
we all just want ‘normal’,
we crave it,
we need it,
we thrive with it…
Is it possible
for the tyranny, greed,
and corruption in the world
to lift?
Is it possible
to find a new way
to lead,
to grow together,
to support one another?
Is it possible
for the fog of hate
to lift,
for light to shine through
and lead the way
to a better world?
