A view of our world from the clouds
I am above all, yet not above any
I am not god nor one of many
I see and I feel the pain and the healing
I know everyone deeply and with that comes with their dealing
They all have issues that are small and great
With large companies and corporations that use them for bait
With perfect bodies and most followers meaning more than education
And the music industry with breakups at a flip of a station
Now don’t get me wrong I know there are beautiful daughters and sons
With whom are striving to make a difference by helping just one
Post a picture and get a reply
Hating yourself, just wanting to cry
With seeing only the pigment of the skin
We miss what matters and that is within
When we look at our neighbors we only see red or blue
Or possibly elephants and donkeys too
with the politics and the hate
we must learn and create
A foundation of love in which we cherish
That will be too beautiful to perish
Though I am not of any importance
I just want to stop all this discordance
But you see I have no power to do this deed
It starts with you to take the lead
So shine the light on the world that it needs to see
Because it’ll be worth it I guarantee

This piece is about someone who is looking at the world from the clouds. This figure is not a god nor a person. He/she is showing all the awful things and beautiful things about the world, as an observer. They are watching the world like a moving train set. I wanted this poem to reflect the world in a way that readers can relate to and can be inspired to change the world in their own ways. I want to change the world through writing so I’m hoping this is a good first step.
