What a Wonderful World!

What a Wonderful World!

 

 

what a wonderful world where perfection rules

where wisdom resides in high places

where neighbors salute

and angels rejoice.

 

the child is patted

not broken

nor minced.

 

that heavenly kiss of the sun-rays

when man discards the self

and divine rights all enjoy.

 

that perfect day the monitoring

ceases unfettered the eagle glides.

 

what a noble noble day for the masses

that day

when man quits anointing himself

and every tiny person

his teeny chores enjoys!

Enjoyed reading "What a Wonderful World!"
Perhaps someday the world can live as one until then we can only pray. I liked the following stanzas "...where neighbors salute

and angels rejoice.

the child is patted

not broken

nor minced.

It is all so much easier this way.

All the best,
Gwendolyn
