A Rebel’s Call - Nurturing Love

 

In a world filled with doubt and fear,

it is easy to forget that which we should hold dear,

We are a part of an integral, wonderful, whole,

not apart or alone, but together, united, our common goal!

 

Changing times bring many a challenge to our door,

where morals, truth and manners seem important no more.

Babies now often learn from a cold silver screen,

supplanting a mother’s love with an electronic machine.

 

We are taught from young, to follow a flag,

no matter where it leads, good or bad!

Separated by differences does not make us strong,

indeed this nationalistic lesson is all wrong.

 

Our ‘leaders’ tell us that only WE are great,

and to leave the ‘others’ to their deserving fate.

There can only be love for our own, we are told,

whilst their selfish, dark agendas begin to unfold.

 

Our brothers and sisters of every colour and race,

share a common need, to live in love’s good grace.

Yet politicians and rulers prefer to divide and conquer,

ensuring downtrodden misery with no border.

 

Those who see themselves as the privileged better,

do not understand that they are power’s debtor.

It is easy to climb on the pain of an unfortunate other,

where our humanity is a victim for ambition to smother.

 

Yet if we, the majority, the common ‘man’ band together,

we can make justice and fairness for all, our common tether!

What strength we need must come from within,

to seek unselfish self-betterment is no sin.

 

If we look at today, in honest, heartfelt truth, you’ll find,

many people have forgotten it’s truly a strength to be kind!

So, let us wholeheartedly decide that in this desultory clime,

we embrace nurturing love for all and that this is the time.

 

Unconditional love is infinitely stronger when embraced and shared,

bonded with common cause, we no longer need to be scared.

So, smile and remember that we are blessed to know

change happens from within and helps us grow.

There is a selection of my art on canvas and other 

mediums available in my

Bonanza Shop here.

 

I have two self-help stories available exclusively on

 Amazon, either on the Kindle or paperback, and I do

 hope that you find them interesting, thought-

provoking, and, most of all, enjoyable: -

 

The Rock Philosophy

This simply written short story is aimed at those who

 seek to understand themselves, and through

 understanding themselves comes a greater

 understanding of life. 

 

The Life of Jesus

(as witnessed by his brother)

Much has been written about Jesus, and no matter your

 view on religion or Christianity, this person, whether he

 was as described in the bible or not, has singularly

 shaped, to a greater or lesser extent, the lives we lead

 today through his wisdom. There are many versions of

 the story, but there is only one truth, and is it not

 better to know the truth?

 

You are most welcome to visit my self-help youtube

 channel Advantage Subliminal

 

And you will find an excellent read in this story by my son Colin, and it is here.
