Dear Readers,
Unite, Unite:
Have you ever gazed up at the sky
wondering why
you feel so humble?
On a starry night
where everything is bright
and lit up like a lantern leading the way.
Have you ever felt apart
deep down in your heart
from those millions of dots up above?
In the wind and rain
and in the face of pain
weighing up each different path.
Has it ever occurred to you that we
are not alone
but so alone all at the same time:
do you ever see what’s left
or what’s already
gone?
Have you ever paused to think
about your link
to a starry night’s sky?
Picture perfect
yet not great enough to infect
our buzzing minds.
Left and right
it is implemented above
our hectic heads.
We are not too great to remember:
we still stumble despite their victory
printed in history.
A cry from a
single
shooting star.
A plea from your
gracious
grandma and pa.
Look up, look down
without a frown
forget everything for just a moment.
Unite, unite
on that very same day
in the bright light of a midsummer’s day.
I hope you all enjoyed that poem!
This was inspired by Remembrance Sunday, and the great urge I want to spread with you, to unite. We should unite as a world, despite our worries and troubles. We should honour those that gave their lives so we could have ours. We should all come together so their sacrifice shall not be wasted by our selfish desires.
We cannot have another World War, or another version of Brexit. We have become divided as a nation, as a world in fact. We need to UNITE amongst us all, and stop disagreeing. There should be compromises and there should be unity. Without unity, everything as we know it at this moment right now will be gone. There will be nothing left. We will’ve taken more than we have given, endangered the lives of others, and becoming reckless in our own wake. If we can unite, we will have a better chance of survival.
Who is with me? Who wants to help save the world?
Then let’s start spreading the word!
Today, I thought I’d share something a little different with you.
As I stood there on Remembrance Sunday for my two minutes silence, I felt my heart light up with all sorts of emotions: courage, fear (I will admit), but mainly out of admiration and respect. Respect for every single one of those soldiers that gave up their lives across the world in both wars. Respect for their actions afterwards, to come together and unite as nations.
So, I propose to you all to unite, rather than continue the way we are heading. Brexit, along with other political issues, has created a sense of division, treason and spite. We need to learn from these soldiers that gave their lives for us, and from their unity afterwards. We need to put aside our disagreements – let’s have some unity for once. Let’s be the bigger, braver people that say enough is enough.
Thank-you. x
