The world around me....

As I sit here, the world around me rocks,
with people laughing about, so full of joy,
with kids free of worries in a environment so green,
with students in a hope for a future, already living their dreams.

As I sit here the world around me excels,
with technology rising every day,
with progression everywhere,
with developments hard to conceive.

As I sit here I think about the world far far away from me,
with people dying of hunger,
with brothers killing one another,
kids with a broken arm or leg, left in despair.

As I sit here I think about the world that still rocks
with the sound of barrages,
with the lightning of the blasts,
with the smell of gunpowder,

And as I sit here I think about the world so gloomy,
with still expectations exceeding their grief,
with desperation making them hearty,
with still hope, belief, optimism and dream...

    I'm glad you liked it. I have never written any poems except just one in the past. So i'm just experimenting with what i can write.
