A NEW WORLD IS RISING FROM THE DUST
by ROBERT DAVIDSON
Something new is happening in the world today
You can feel it throbbing in the air
Not even a climate change can break our will
'Cause we've seen the writing on the wall.
It's time, they're chanting. for a new age of hope
'Cause we've all learned how to trust.
You can even touch it with your out-stretched hand -
A new world is rising from the dust.
But then I awoke from my nightly dream
I was trying so hard not to scream.
The world was not at all as I would have it seem.
We're all learning to trust the brotherhood of man
You can feel it throbbing in the air
Not even terror-bombs can kill our new-found joy
'Cause this is the time for a brave world new.
An earthquake breaks the old order all apart
'Cause it's all decay and full of rust.
People no more crying 'cause they're sad or poor -
A new world is rising from the dust.
But then I awoke from my nightly dream
I was trying so hard not to scream.
The world was not at all as I would have it seem.
We're all stretching out a kind neighbourly hand
You can feel it throbbing in the air
Not even a tidal wave can break our bond of love
'Cause we've seen the writing on the wall.
Hurricanes blow the old beliefs all apart
We know for sure we're never gonna bust.
People no more crying now they're rich and free -
A new world is rising from the dust.
And then I awoke from my nightly dream
I was trying so hard not to scream.
The world was not at all as I would have it seem.

I liked this write. As the natural terrors of the world take its part in ruins, people come out to the awaken trust of hope and helping hands from all over the world. I only wish it is natural terrors and not the hand of man. As the other side of the coin in having trust is that man reaks havoc to make things happen. I can only hope in time, many, many years from my time of now, that someday our world will be united in one. No more racism, hunger, religion hate, etc.... Just all of what is happening now, the world suffers to make room for the good things to come. Its going to be a long time before the world can unite and understand those good things.
Your write is thought provoking as I enjoy this kind of event. Well done.

| I enjoyed your poem - they were such powerful words to me. Is the world really changing? I would say so, and how could it not be seen? Anyways, great job. The poem itself was done impressively, and intellectually, well. Keep writing! Take care :) |

Robert it's great to see another post from you. This is a real thought provoking write. Natural disasters have came and went, but the will and spirit of our human race is still strong. Hand in hand people lend their help putting aside their religion beliefs, colour, race etc...I wished we could all live together in peace and harmony.
Your poem is a real eye opener and it makes one think about what's really happening in our world today.
An outstanding write from you Robert. Well done.
*hugs*

This is well-written, an inspired attempt. I enjoyed the language and images used.
Is a new world rising? I'd like to think so. But I doubt it... these things are so quickly forgotten. Will we be affected, though? I'm sure of it. Well, we shall see.
