I Threw These Words in The Air....

I threw these words in the air

Uncertainties and evils allowed not ever to escape,
perfection the reason that determines all we reshape
Created inside a mind behind cooperatives and such,
bringing together a world that unfairness can’t touch

Who would believe they would land with such orders,
it is truly the most wonderful way to watch a descent
At last we say in our world there can be no borders,
and all men of war should find peace and befriend

How could it pass inextricably as these words were falling,
that onetime politicians and people not of good intension
Went out to the streets and were through all houses trawling ,
pleading with friend or foe alike, that they had no contention

So I at least found the way to write good verse is this,
gather all words you know and throw them real high
Close your eyes and pray a tiny little bit, so not to miss,
how these wonderful tools of our trade fall from the sky

Be careful I say not to throw while on ice
If thin you may hate what’s become your vice
Cold is the water under this freezing crust
While above we have heat honesty, and trust ??....
