End of the Beginning








































I keep hearing that this is
The Beginning of the End
 I’d like to challenge that.
WHAT IF
We are being prepared for
The End of the Beginning?
A cleansing of the Earth’s soul
Exploding it’s fury but forgiving
To give us yet another chance
To end famine, war, hate
Pollution, crime and other human nonsense
WHAT IF
Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires,
Erupting volcanoes and earthquakes
Were the only way that we could see
To notice with concern, pay attention
Learn to listen to Mother Earth
WHAT IF
This is the end of an era
The end of what we know today?
WHAT IF
We are evolving as humans
As we evolved from the Stone Age
Copper Age, Bronze and Iron
WHAT IF
We are progressing into a community
Of loving, peaceful, respectful people
Kind, sharing and caring
WHAT IF
We come together as people
Take care of each other
Enjoy each other’s presents
Appreciate all life
And all the things that make us great
WHAT IF….
The Earth is in labour
And it’s meant to be a bit painful
But all will be okay
Because what we get in the end
Is wonderful.

WHAT IF.....


A backpack filled
Blood has spilled
People can’t hear
They only see fear
A human insane
Has caused the rain
What we have seen
Seems so extreme
Hearts are sad
People get mad

WHAT IF I suggested
These souls that are “dead”
Made a pact with the One
To show us the work
That needs to be done
To wake us
To shake us
Look deeper than blood
The flower IS inside the bud

WHAT IF it means
We'd be free
Together as One community
To protect each other
To fix our errors
Renewed, refreshed
Take a deep breath
Surrounded by love
From the One above
Open our eyes
Look deep inside
We are not perfect
So much to correct
We are human
And we should act like One

WHAT IF we gathered
With love abound
Hear the sounds
See the light
Forget the fight
Open our hearts
It’s a start
Forgive the pain
Enjoy the mundane
Take care of each other
Like sisters and brothers

What would it be like?
A life without strife...
Food to eat
A place to sleep
Wars have ceased
Replaced with peace
We are One as a team
WHAT IF
all we have to do is BELIEVE?
