The world we see

The spark

By Gregory AndersonPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

We were taught to go to school

Sit down and learn the golden rule

The simple truths how things came to be

Insight we learned about the world we see

On the ladder of life we rushed to climb up

When all we really wanted was to grow up

Like a bell that has been rung some say

That youth is wasted on the young

Fertile minds seeking what they don’t know

Wisdom becomes the match to spark their glow

Just like the story of Adam and Eve

Knowledge forever changed the world we see

We search for the answers while we are here

Understanding that truth comes when we draw near

Our world seems more lost year after year

We watch our leaders trade integrity for fame

Only a fraction of who they were still remains

Their biggest ambition is to find someone to blame

Like children on the schoolyard saying shame shame shame

Mounting troubles for the powers that be

For they know the world we see
