Poem Commentary

This is about the planet earth that we live on. The place that we know and the world that we make for ourselves. What is this world that we have created? A question for the ages!

This World

Safe to this world, holding,
This world we have, boldly,
Is this it, or this not,
Just what we want?
Turn for turn this world turns,
Around and around we want,
With us on it, living,
Wishing somehow this world,
Were a little bit different than,
What we know right now,
So that what we want is not,
Anywhere, anymore, anyhow!
