The Power of Love

Our society in turmoil, reaching far and wide,
Every nation, city & village, with nowhere to hide.
War, violence & oppression, seem to be the norm,
Global economic crisis, adding strength to the storm.

Debt hangs over our heads, what can we do,
Is this world what we want, for our children too?
Leaders try new ideas, hope & change have no chance,
With no cooperation, & an oppositionist stance.

Elections are sideshows, each trying to score,
Points with negativity, one liners and more.
Monopolization & greed cause all manner of strife.
Most slaves to making a living, rather than a life.

We can fix it all I am certain, raise our species higher,
We lack not resources or ability, simply the desire.
Erase all global debt, with the mere stroke of a pen,
Rid ourselves of this burden, if not now, when?

Give everyone, everything, they need to survive,
And our limitless potential, will more than thrive.
All disease, crime and violence, will surely disappear,
When people replace profit, and love replaces fear.

Some say a Utopian dream, that reality would rival,
But I call it our only, real chance of survival.
My wish for our children, that they may fly like a dove.
May the love of power yield, to the Power of Love.
