Chasms and Bridges
by Ted L Glines
Whether dancing the circle
or sitting in the pews,
the world is full of wonder
and knee-jerk news.
For those full of spite
and woeful complaining,
the world is full of darkness;
no hope remaining.
Diversity spawns
attacking spasms,
elevating hate
and deepening the chasms.
You are who you are,
smart as a fox;
why confine yourself
to a bleak little box?
For those full of love
and compassion caring,
the world is full of brightness
and warmth in sharing.
Diversity spawns
a chance to build bridges,
elevating love
and life privileges.
You are who you are,
smart as a fox;
expressing yourself,
you're outta that box!
We can make this world
a beautiful place
if we toss away the frown
and put a smile on our face.
Abolish that burden
of complaints you've been lugging;
begin building bridges
and get used to hugging!
