HUMANITY LIVING IN FEAR

“The fact is that today the biggest single emotion which dominates our lives is fear,” said U.S. News & World Report. “Never before has mankind been as fearful as at present.”

Many factors contribute to this global atmosphere of fear: violent crime, unemployment, economic instability because so many nations are hopelessly in debt, worldwide pollution of the environment, lack of strong and loving family ties, and the overwhelming feeling that mankind is in imminent danger of nuclear annihilation.

This poem was written to show that many, many persons are having a hard time coping with fear. Some are turning to drugs, alcohol, sex, anger, materialism and death, to cope. One man who was in the news in September 2011, set himself on fire and yelled “I am in debt.”

This poem shows the reality of fear today!

POEM - REACTING TO THE FEAR OF LIFE

People live more in fear today, for they think that the problems of life are here to stay.

More and more people don’t want to watch the news, they are not amused.

If someone told you six years ago that life would be severely strained, you would have put them on the next train, tell them that they are insane.

The economy was better and, there were plenty of jobs, now people feel that they have been seriously robbed.

Today things are very much different, people are so in fear they go off in an instant,

Where will things go from here? Will people have to always live in fear?

Children throughout the world are very sad today, their hope for a happy future permanently delayed.

Adults think that their life will end with things not being much better, so they live for the moment, doing whatever. 

What if life as we know it can change for the better? Would you be willing to follow the instructions to the letter?

Would you be willing to love people of all races? You will then see people with happy faces.

Would you do away with greed? You will then see people never in serious need.

Would you be willing to do away with hate? You will not see people retaliate, because they can now relate.

Everyday people are losing their possessions, along with any affection.

People are angry and mad; they write the President to tell him that they lost all they had.

Where do we go from here? Will people have to always live in fear?

If life can change for the better, would you be willing to follow the instructions to the letter?

People are drinking more to cope with life’s problems, such drinking only leads to their sorrow,

Taking drug makes people not have to cope, sadly this leaves so many without hope.

Many of our children are resorting to all that is bad, one day they will see (when it is too late) that this fad has cost them more than all they had.

There are millions of people on earth who are happy every day; for they know that the badness now is not here to stay.

They know that very soon life will be better, because they are following the instructions for a better life to the letter.

RACISM - CAN WE INDIVIDUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

LOOK AROUND! How do you feel about people of skin color or ethnic group different from your own? Do you view them as equal?

In 1969 Richard Milhous Nixion – US President said in his inaugural address concerning race:

“We will strive to listen in new ways . . . to the injured voices, the anxious voices, the voices that have despaired of being heard. . . . What remains is to give life to what is in the law: to ensure at last that as all are born equal in dignity before God, all are born equal in dignity before man.”

Another words “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”—Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Some in the world will disagree with these words. However, many, many persons would like to be able to live together better and, get along because they see that all human are part of humanity.

    
This Poem and Video shows that changes are needed, and a fine example of the Touhy Family who demonstrated not just an act of kindness but, an act of love, by extending a hand to a child of another race who was in need. Not only was the child helped, but such help made a deep lasting impression on the family too. Thank you Touhy Family for seeting a good example in caring for another.

What can we individually do physically, spiritually, emotionally and, mentally to make a difference?

COLOR OF SKIN - WHAT CAN WE DO INDIVIUALLY IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY TO HELP BEAT RACISM?

Education has been described as “the most powerful tool” in the fight against prejudice. The right education can, for example, expose the root causes of prejudice, enable us to examine our own attitudes more objectively, and help us deal wisely with prejudice when we are victims.

THIS VIDEO LOOK AT PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT RACES IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. CAN YOU MAKE ROOM IN YOUR LIFE TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE OF A DIFFERENT RACE? CAN YOU ACCEPT IN YOUR LIFE AND HEART THAT THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU WHETHER AT SCHOOL, WORK, NEIGHBORHOOD OR ANOTHER COUNTRY IS RELATED TO YOU AS PART OF THE HUMAN FAMILY.

THE FINEST PERSON IN THE WORLD - A SPECIAL MOTHER

A SPECIAL MOTHER

The human family was made like no other, and within the family, attributes, qualities are given to a special one called a mother.

In history, mothers did not have much worth, but a closer examination will reveal that mothers were wrongly cursed.

All humans are capable of being wise and smart, but a special mother can do more and is able to love, cherish, guide, deep from her heart.

Fathers and children can love and care for one another, but none can wear so many different hats like, a special mother.

All women who gave birth to children can be titled a mother, but all women who gave birth to children cannot be titled a special mother.

Such a woman is very rare, precious, hard to find, although she is imperfect, she behaves angelic, yes divine.

She is a single parent who provided completely for her young, and her children are happy and proud to be called hers sons (little ones).

She gave her children all the tools that they need, look at her children, and you will say, “they were taught well indeed.”

She may not have completed all things in life to acquire the necessary tools, but by her wisdom and respect, by her intelligence and reverence, you see that she is by far no fool.

 

Although her family was poor, her children never saw poverty; they lived like they won a free lottery.

She made sure all her children were fed, but she sometimes goes hungry when she went to bed.

If you asked her for money because you were in need, she did not hesitate to do a good deed.

Her wallet was always empty, but every time she picked it up there was plenty.

If you gave her a ride to any place, she was not satisfied until you took the money she held in your face.

If you were sick and could not care for things, she would cook and clean while she sings

SONG

“How much is that doggie in the window, the one with the waggerty tail”

“How much is that doggie in the window, I do hope that doggy is for sale”

This special mother not only cared above and beyond for her family, but all who crossed her path were touched by her humanity.

Such a special mother throughout her life did not ever change, even when faced with misery and pain.

You always seen her happy, never sad, even when the worst of things happens in life to make most very upset, hurt and mad.

Such a special mother as this deserves the highest commendation, and heartfelt expressions of so much admiration.

The things you know and have seen from her, assures you that the values of having this special mother, are too rare and priceless to let go.

What made this woman successful as a special mother? She trusted completely, totally, and finally in her God and no other.

THE REASON FOR THIS POEM & THE VIDEO

IF PRESENT trends continue, fatherless families will soon be the norm. A report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services claims: “Children raised by a single parent tend to receive lower grades, have more behavior problems, and have higher rates of chronic health and psychiatric disorders. . . . Being raised in a single-mother family is associated with elevated risks of teenage childbearing, high school dropout, [and] incarceration.”

Little wonder, then, that social scientists, family counselors, educators, and even politicians desperately seek ways to halt this devastating trend.

This video shows what happens when the chain is not broken. Fathers are needed in their family. DO YOU AGREE? CAN YOU RELATE TO THIS SONG AND THE POEM BELOW?

FATHERS - NOT IN THE LIFE OF THE FAMILY

Fathers! Not In Their Child Life

Many, many problems happen in a child’s life

Father’s absence (generally) brings much of the pain and strife.

Far more than material things, to ones children, the love, time, attention, given to them

You Fathers who have children, how often do you show

How often, do you tell them, you are very proud of them?

Some fathers never spend precious time with their little ones, giving them the tools for everyday life

Performance in school is poor, your children never see their dad at the school door.

Children enjoy attention from their mom, but need mental and emotional support from Dad

When fathers do not show their children they are proud of them, oh how sad.

To be a fly on the wall, seeing you lay next to momma to conceive me

To hear you say with strong conviction, you will care for thee.

But to spend time, care, love, and discipline you did not do

How often, how often did you show your children you were proud of them too?

Your God given responsibility as a man is to be in the life of your children, from their start

So that they grow up enjoying making right decisions, with a good heart.

Within you fathers, you have the tools that only you can teach

Because your children enjoy walking in your shadows, so they can reap.

Many things are hard to do in life, fathers being there for your children, all the days of their life

Some mothers refuse to let fathers meet the needs of their children, perhaps a bad wife?

But you fathers and mothers remember, Devastation and pain have long lasting consequences in your child life

Hurry to your senses, children need to be shown that their fathers are proud of them in their life.

But fathers of today are not completely to blame, because their fathers and fathers, fathers never broke the chain.

So fathers of today carry much shame, continuing to play the same game.

It’s all so sad to see that our fathers who were children too, never were free

Many of our children of today have given up, because of past fathers who allowed their own self to get messed up.

Fathers, you are your children role model, your children hear your words, but they imitate your actions

How often do you show that you are proud of them with much satisfaction?

They will listen more to what you are, than what you say

Do you want your children to be successful spiritually, mentally, and emotionally?

How often, oh how often, do you show you are proud of them, so they can be, truly free.

A Random Act Of Kindness

As you enjoy this video about a random acts of kindness, can you send to us ways that we can demonstrate kindness to people we don't know? WE WANT TO COLLECT 365 ACTS OF KINDNESS, CAN YOU INDIVIDUALLY SEND ME 5 ACTS OF KINDNESS - crandpoet@gmail.com

The Reason For This Poem

“Today we get the feeling that we are living . . . in the middle of a tornado, an unparalleled catastrophe.”—“La Repubblica” newspaper, Rome, Italy.

After the attack on New York and, in Washington DC, more people are not sure about the future of humanity.

THE news these days is hardly comforting. One person wrote: “Current events are so grim that we often can’t decide whether or not we dare watch the six o’clock news.” The world is filled with war, acts of terror, suffering, crime, and disease—evils that may soon affect us directly if they have not already.

This poem shows how some feel about humanity - Do You Feel Similiar?

What Has Happened To Humanity?

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HUMANITY?

We live in a world where love, trust, respect, and unselfishness has disappeared from humanity,

And we wonder why there is so much hatred, suicide, and insanity.

It’s not how life was meant to be, just look back 30 years or so and you will see,

We have lost the most importance qualities to live together and be truly free.

The human family has become slaves to an element that is bent on our destruction,

We choose to not follow that which is full of life persevering instruction.

It starts with the family unit yellow, black or white, which today are pitiful sites.

Such families refuse to know the direction in which to go.

People say, “Times have changed from the way life use to be”,

Time is still the same, but the people have changed, which changes have brought much misery.

Man tries to ensure that future generation will be better for our children and grand children, they enforce,

But the reality is that man is headed on a collision course.

Our children live for the moment, because their future seem bleak,

They do many bad things, knowing they have only death to meet.

Our children are crying for help, this we all know,

Look at your children they are not like the children of 30, 40 or 50 years ago.

Ozone, armaments, energy and pollution, it is so important that humanity finds a solution.

World leaders always say, “For our children to have a future, we must act today”,

But humanity is so stubborn he chooses to delay, until another day.

There is a solution to preserving humanity, but it requires all the nations, yes families to act with true sanity.

Is it any wonder when you watch the news, all you see and hear is bad news.

Families are fighting each other; races are seeking ways to destroy one another.

The human family is headed for destruction; pride will not let us accept perfect instruction.

When an animal is extinct, this means he no longer exist,

Humanity is heading in this direction, humanity alone can’t stop this.
