Perfect World



Do you ever have questions about your purpose in life?
Are you concerned about what happens in the afterlife?
I wonder about all these things that I am unable to answer.
I am told that we have to believe by faith without waver.

Living on this earth makes our lives a little complicated
We are born today and tomorrow we are exterminated.
Every day we live on the verge of something different.
Things change too abruptly and it seems so irreverent.  

It is so hard to be positive in a world filled with chaos
Our lives are constantly in turmoil and lawlessness
How can you live in harmony in times like these
When all you see is dissension and casualties.

I always hope that things will always get better.
I pray that we mend the progress we have severed.  
In a perfect world, we would all be as one.
I still believe that is why God sent His Son!

About this poem

These expereinces also are evident through my writings. more…
