Where Poem by William Lindenmuth

I have often wondered
Contemplated and thought
About this world we live in
Downtrodden and distraught
Where negativity flows
Like a tsunami
positive thoughts become extinct
Are we burying ourselves deeper
In the way we live and think

Where finger pointing has become art
In our political tapestry
it’s business as usual
Wreaked with dishonesty
When leaders become followers
With their hands under the table
The dollar pays for morality
our economy unstable

The rich they are getting richer
Say goodbye to the middle class
In the eyes of the righteous ones
We were meant to kiss their brass
But I see things a little differently
I wont lose my point of view
For soon the pendulum will swing
And perspectives will change too

A giant is awakening
I hear whispers on the changing breeze
A new day will dawn for us
these moments we will seize
people will surely see the world
beyond their open eyes
they will learn to feel again
when truth replaces lies

a period of enlightenment
where the answer lies in caring
greed becomes disposable
people begin sharing
when the environment we live in
is as important as the air we breathe
a better world awaits us
when we learn how to believe

respecting one another
brothers and sisters unite
when the war on poverty and disease
becomes our noble fight
it isn’t so farfetched you know
beginning with a simple prayer
for dreams become reality
when we unite and share

Our greatest natural resource
comes from deep inside
the time has come to be reborn
prepare for a glorious ride
