I wrote this poem two years ago after another mass shooting. With everything going on in my country I decided it’s a good time to post it here on my blog. Thank you for taking the time to read my poems. My followers are starting to grow and I’m almost to 100! Whoot whoot!
I pray for a world where I can belong
Where all are welcome and all get along
One with peace and happiness too
Full of love and many thank you’s
A place you’re not judged for the color of skin
A door wide open for all to come in
A place you can be all that you can be
While remaining loyal and being free
Where right overcomes all that is wrong
I pray for a world where I can belong
I pray for a world where I can belong
Where life is one long happy song
A place that wants to help each other
You’re more than a friend you’re a brother
Where only our God can control our fate
Not a coward who thrives on nothing but hate
A place where good defeats the bad
And you’re full of joy and never sad
A place you can always remain strong
I pray for a world where I can belong
I pray for a world where I can belong
I thought I had found it but I was wrong
I lived in a country that was full of sin
that refused to let the homeless come in
Where people learn to harm each other
Rather than love and help one another
Where hate is around each day of the week
And you’re killed for the peace that you seek
People are divided and don’t get along
I pray for a world where I can belong
