I look around me and ask myself; is this my world
Greed, destruction, wars, gossip
I look around me and ask myself; is this my world
Beauty, nature, laughter, love
I look around me and ask myself; is this my world
Animal slaughter, hatred, abuse
I look around me and ask myself; is this my world
Joy, compassion, caring
I look around myself and ask myself; is this my world
How can I change my world so that I just see love
How can I change my world so that I just see peace
How can I change my world so that I just see kindness
How can I change my world
It is time to let go of my current world of destruction
It is time to let go of my current world of fear
It is time to let go of my current world of just me, me, me
It is time to just Be
Be in my world
My world of peace

This is a beautiful poem. And I contemplated on it. It is not about outer world of hatred or joy but more deeper inside of us of our ” so called good and so called bad” . Both wanting to win over each , causing constant struggle. We loosing peace within.As there always a fight of these two aspects of ourselves within. Hence than one aspect which is lost is suffering…
Harmonizing between these ” so called good and so called bad” aspects, making them friends is the way for inner peace. As than there is no struggle , to win. No suffering.
Just acceptance ….
And that is ” Just Be”.
Thank you
