Chasms and Bridges <br />by Ted L Glines <br /> <br />Whether dancing the circle <br />or sitting in the pews, <br />the world is full of wonder <br />and knee-jerk news. <br /> <br />For those full of spite <br />and woeful complaining, <br />the world is full of darkness; <br />no hope remaining. <br /> <br />Diversity spawns <br />attacking spasms, <br />elevating hate <br />and deepening the chasms. <br /> <br />You are who you are, <br />smart as a fox; <br />why confine yourself <br />to a bleak little box? <br /> <br />For those full of love <br />and compassion caring, <br />the world is full of brightness <br />and warmth in sharing. <br /> <br />Diversity spawns <br />a chance to build bridges, <br />elevating love <br />and life privileges. <br /> <br />You are who you are, <br />smart as a fox; <br />expressing yourself, <br />you're outta that box! <br /> <br />We can make this world <br />a beautiful place <br />if we toss away the frown <br />and put a smile on our face. <br /> <br />Abolish that burden <br />of complaints you've been lugging; <br />begin building bridges <br />and get used to hugging!<br /><br />Ted L Glines<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chasms-and-bridges/
