My hope for our world and people who walk it is to
Live in concert regardless of differences,quit modernizing and glamorizing hate.
Be bold enough to love everyone with a deep understanding that tomorrow is not promised, and time is to be courted respectfully.
Let’s stop weaponizing food,love,color,diversity,age.Let’s be human…again.

Country: Nigeria

My hope for our world and the people who walk it is ...

That ALL women the world over are loved, respected, admired, cherished,
as without them we are nothing...

Brings to mind one of my posts: "Punctuation … bah, who needs it!"

“My hope for our world and the people who walk it is…”

Accept that my perceptions are not always yours - nor yours mine - though we breathe the same air,
share the same world, dream, cry for the same pain, and die at life's, times, and Gods' whim.
May each of us pray and follow life affirming belief's - with the same fervor, continued hope, and a full
awareness and understanding of our neighbors realities and samenesses. WE are humanity, not just I's.

“My hope for our world and the people who walk it is…”

A hope of salvation and reward
From the heavens above, come light
Of the Word; the holy word is shelter
Against evil and damned ones, so hold
The rope of peace and love, to save our beautiful earth!
"Pakistan"

[Indra's Child]

To the future, whose past has been long apart,
May your survivors live- but not yearn for forever,
No war, cult, or power will sustain the heart,
Which requires warmth, connection, selfless endeavor.

My hope for our world and the people who walk it
Is to not let bad things go when we know we should stop it
All of the war, famine, and discrimination
Should be replaced with peace, love, and all of our imagination
Let the hope of the people and our lives shine
And make a new world of our own design

Country: USA (But I'm from Mexico :D)

Thank you so much for this opportunity!

My hope for our world and people who walk it is
For many of us to walk the walk of life, towards unity. To share the gift of love given by those above.
For loss and profit not to benefit.
For we are all equal.

Country: South Africa

My hope for our world and the people in it is to hope for a brighter future filled with loyalty, compassion, understanding, and unity. For us to continuously inspire each new generation to make a change. To let it be known that different is Amazing, no matter what the "different" is. It could mean race, looks, ideas, goals. We wasn't meant to be in this world for everyone to look the same, act the same, and think the same. That would be a boring world to live in. We have so many different opportunities to make a change, we need to take advantage of those opportunities. The world will not become a better place, if we don't take that chance. It starts with us, let's change the vision of the old days.


Country: USA
Thanks for allowing me to be involved in this.

MANY,MANY THANKS BUT ..

Could you cut this down.. if you read the info mentioned under the title - four (4) lines of poetry or pros. We could take five but no tmore (as much as would like to) So, will you pick out the four or five lines you think most relevant, please - thank you :)

[Seren]

My hope for our world and the people who walk it is...

May soft kindness bloom in gentle souls,
Where hands hold a loving caress,
And in each other's eyes, we see
A glimpse of our vulnerability.

my hope for our world and the people who walk it is to
take yourself to unimaginable places; see colors, hear languages, taste air
don't stop living for someone else because tomorrow is all you have left
and don't forget to smile for those who cannot any longer, for a smile is all you can give to the earth.

thank you for inviting me to your collaboration, I greatly appreciate it.
country: the united kingdom
thank you once again. -mabel mae

[Robert Trakofler]

As an act of contrition, in these states of calamity
I still place petitions, on the parchments of humanity
For the final deposition, of hatreds profanity
in honest he-arts submission and not an act of vanity

[emmajoygreen]

Your words are both worthy and moving.. thank you so much for finding the time during your busy life!
(Found you in two places, probaby my fault! )
