Haiku........... Heaven vs Hell
60
Heaven Above
Look Up and See
A wealth of stars
Behold a Universe
............................
Hell Below
Do we stand bye
Or do we act
Is it ever too late
.........................
However is it
That we can have a Third World
On a single Earth.
..........................
For what we throw away
Day after day
A child could feast.

Wonderful poem that tells us all to do something for the poor kiddies. Vote up and awesome no problem, Joyce
so very true!
Very good. very good, very...Great
Oh, This is so cutting and hits you in the gut. What a wonderful Haiku you have crafted. Yes, how can there be a third world when there is only one world? Bravo..This moved me..
Hi Sturgeonl. We can keep giving but until Governments put a stop to cruelty and deceit it probably will do nothing which is very sad.
Hi James.. Thank you for your words my friend.
Hello writer20... People do give freely but not everyone speaks out freely. Thats the only way for change i think.
Hi Nikki.... Thank you for your words.
Hey cleaner3..... So happy you enjoyed this piece
Hiya always exploring...... Third world! It sounds as if they are on a different planet. Perhaps they would be better off if they were... I am happy that you are moved with this piece. it seems ridiculous to me that in the new millenium we still have such things in this world.
Thank you all my friends for reading and caring. Best wishes.....................Chris
Hi Scarface,
Brilliant, thought provoking and profound.
Voted up and away.
Hey Sue. I am so happy you feel the way you do about this piece as it probably wouldn't of been written without yours and other fellow hubbers influence. Thank you very much.............Chris
ps/ Hi to Betty on her special day xxx
oh, you've hit a mark here Scarface...and no matter how powerful our inventions are...we still can't pinpoint the exact location of heaven nor hell...but we're oblivious to the people who live on the pit of despair...aren't they living in hell?
Hi Scarface you hit the mark with this one. I often say to Geoff when watching the news, for the 21st century "have we really progressed". I think not.
Hi racinwa. I think perhaps that Heaven or Hell depends very much on the post-code area you live in.
Hi Gloshei.. I agree overwhelmingly with you. We have walked on the moon but it seems even with this technology we cant. Even with all the moneys that have been graciously and thoughtfully given ofer the past 40 or 50 years it seems stupid that no one ever had the idea that laying water-pipes and digging wells in deprest places might of been something to do at the start thus enabling peoples to grow food in arid areas. Thus creating self Sufficiency. No! if that had been done then many of these so called help relief charaties would most likely had to close. Somebody is obviously getting rich from others generosity and it damn well dont seem to be the poor folk...... Sorry for rambling.
Chris
You're not rambling you are being truthful.
Hey Gloshei... Thank you dear friend

We create a Hell for others with lack of action for giving. This is an inspiring poem to remember the sacrafice some people endure because of selfishness in the world. Voted up and awesome.
