Going Forward what will we find as we search for answers to the world's issues?

A poem by Doug Gempel
June 19, 2013


We are gliding through space
as the human race,

wanting to be free and hear our plea,

That we are a great planet but
if you don't see it can it,

Because we have created our earth
free to surf,

Through the stars above
we seek the peace of a dove,

As we manage our problems of which we created,
we could not do worse if we were sedated

for in man's growth on this humble place
some of us forgot to pray for God's grace,

We now are looking to the future
to try to fix and repair man's suture,

To the many ecological seams,
we search for answers to these themes,

we can save earth with community purpose,
but we must stop war and all of its surface,

For in the end of these great days,
it would be good to say we survived man's ways.


The End
