This World Is Dying Poem by Rodney Dufault

This world is dying, can you all not see it?
We all should love every single human being.
A hero to this world, I feel I could be it.
Why do I feel like I'm the one who should free it?
I wonder, does anyone else feels this way?
Do they feel helpless in this world today?
For I do, but all I want is some change.
Love for love, it's an even exchange,
So why is it so hard to accomplish this task?
Better yet, why do I even ask?
It seems like people only try to manipulate.
So here are the terms that I stipulate:
Be good to each other and help your fellow man,
when they are falling reach out your hand.
Help them stand on their own two again,
and be careful of what you do to them.
Nobody wants to hurt or feel bad,
and when they do all I can do is feel sad.
Help the children, they are the ones to go forward
in time so they can help us all move toward
a better future for our world, a better past to remember.
A better year from January to December.
No matter your color or where you are from,
you can help with the rain by bringing the sun.
We can all do better to bring each other love,
we have to help ourselves if we want help from above.
Remember that we all have our parts to play,
and learn to open up our hearts today.
Let us all make this world a better place to live,
let us stop taking and let us learn to give.
It is what we all want and what we all need,
not death, dishonesty, hate, or greed.
I have visions of this world being a better place,
and not just for me but the whole human race.
Can we all get together to make this miracle be?
Can we all open our eyes for a minute to see?
This world is dying and it really needs our help,
so let us all stop just looking out for self.
If we try real hard I know that we can do it.
When a mistake is made, stop thinking that we blew it.
Try again, for someday we will persevere.
Sometimes that is all we need to hear.
This really is the only world we have to live on,
so if you got a hug today, please go and give one.
If someone you know is in need of your love,
Then give it to them even if they shove
you out of their way, for that is what they need,
and then plant in them this seed...
Let it grow into something they never understood,
and let them know this world is filled with good.
This world is dying, but we can save it I'm sure.
Just open your hearts, and let the love pour
out into the world for all people to see,
and someday this world will be what we want it to be.
