Acknowledge The Truth Because Time Is Ticking Poem by Jorge Luis Hernandez

With the abundance of Peace
The decimation of evil in this world is released
With the evaporation of hope from our hearts
We are vulnerable for hatred and ignorance to split us apart

For the unification of women and men
Can only benefit humanity
For as you can witness for yourself
We live in a world overflowing with insanity
If our past didn’t look so bright
Our future doesn’t look any brighter

In a way an epidemic has occurred in this world
Were we let hate, jealousy, and greed trickle down from our head to our soul
And cause conflicts that eventually lead to the destruction of war
With war comes death, people fighting for that sweet taste of success
Even if it means breathing in their very last breath

Cant we see the truth unraveling in front of our eyes
Not only are we killing each other, leaving poor kids without mothers and fathers
Were killing Mother Earth
Stripping it from its natural beauty it has blessed us with ever since birth.
From my perspective we have to do something now
Because another Earth wont be handed to us or found

We can’t hide the past, nor rewrite it
Time is running out and we all know we cant fight it
I acknowledge the fact that a new beginning can’t be established
But who says a better ending can’t be accomplished
