THE WORLD I SEE

This post started out as a poem, but somewhere along the line I realized I had a lot more to say.

There’s evil in our world....suffering, greed, oppression, injustice, ***corruption*** & even worse.
Nations.....at the mercy of other nations.
Conspiracies.....to keep certain nations under servitude.
Unjust wars.....being fought.
People.....dying for senseless reasons.

But despite what I know, I choose to see a different world.
**I see** [steemit.com](https://steemit.com), an avenue to express myself, with like-minds.
**I see** people like [Precious Ajiri](https://steemit.com/@ceepee) with [a passion to care for the needy.](https://steemit.com/nigeria/@ceepee/caring-for-the-less-privilaged-homeless-children)
**I see** [Dr. Geet Asnani](https://steemit.com/@geetasnani) who chooses to develop young people.
**I see** [Samuel Ayo](https://steemit.com/@dreamchasser); a leader worthy of emulation.
**I see** my [steemitdotcom community](https://t.me/steemitdotcom), **WE** are ***mooning*** to the top.

And because **I see**, I have hope.....for myself, my country.....my world.
Perhaps hoping makes me simplistic & seemingly ignorant.
But because I see the good.....I want more of it and I’d do my best to contribute.
I might not accomplish much, but I’d die knowing I tried to make a difference.

Good composition @rickie. Sometimes we can't understand the world we live in. As a matter of fact, it is too wide to understand it all. But what's important is to understand ourselves... Our purpose, goals, aspirations, our relationships,  what we stand for... For only then can we find true meaning with this world.

👍 diskorvery, gameoutcome
