How can a world so rich and free
Allow us lives of poverty
How can a world with all its might
Allow our lives to face such plight
How can a world just sit and stare
When lives are living through despair
Why a western world of little need
Should harm our pride and make us plead

The answer friend is help you grow
To sow the seeds and banish woe
The answer friend, preserve belief
Unite as one to end the grief
The answer friend, arrest disdain
To coalesce and cease the pain
The answer friend is in our hearts
We’ll join as one and play our parts

Peace
Submitted by: Steven Cronin

I prayed for love and peace on earth Undying calm to ease the fear A tranquil and halcyon birth And sanctuary for those held dear I prayed for solace, peace of mind An end to war and butchery For peaceful means to show the blind To honour faith and make them see And past an age of bleak despair About this nightmare, I awoke And slowly I became aware The Lord had heard, and then He spoke And God said love, and be as one To tolerate, and turn the cheek Abide the grief, it will be gone Acquaint your will and guide the weak And God said heed your fellow man Bestow relief and fill his bowl To overcome the tyrants plan For peace shall grow within the soul...

The North Pole
Submitted by: Steven Cronin

Gallant vigour braves the storm Intrepid courage beyond the strain Endless effort keeping warm Iron will to ease the pain Forward march the mind insists Interrogation and torment Thoughts of home that can’t resist Rest assured and not lament Battle-hardened, steel will Resolution held in sight Elements serve bitter pill Make the ground ‘till fall of night White blanket sheets of snow Arctic chill bears no remorse Icy does the north wind blow Perseverance stays the course Angry clouds frown in the sky Layers keep the squall at bay Homely comforts wave goodbye Wind chill takes your breath away...

Antarctica
Submitted by: Steven Cronin

Barren land of ice and snow Mountains span unburdened plain Welcoming the morning glow Illuminating vast terrain Icebergs breaking from the shelf Sailing south for warmer shores Visions lush in untold wealth Silencing the oceans roar White Bear treads forsaken ground Abiding march through wind and snow Hunting grounds, forever bound Seeking fare through ice below Seabirds scanning high and low Seeking fish from open sea Ice too thick to crack below Thunderous billows break it free Vicious blizzards, angry storms Violent gales, blinding snow Penguins cluster, keeping warm Storm is here, nowhere to go...

Tibet

The Grand Canyon
Submitted by: Steven Cronin

Broad horizons spread beyond Witness seized in open awe Time converges natures bond Cast in stone for ever more Naked hollow, coarse and raw Vista cast in natures mould Native Indian struck in awe Silence greets the world untold Solitude hails the morning sun Tepidity bathes an arid land Gorge and nature join as one Beauty just as nature planned Meandering river twists and turns Drifts its course, patience rife Tranquillity, which man can learn Endless flowing vein of life Raging torrent, ebb and flow Shooting rapids fleet and swift Winding current way below Eternal tide that shaped the cliff...

Wales
Submitted by: Steven Cronin

Within the glen the dragon roars A fervid spirit beats inside Celebration will be yours Embrace the soul and let it guide Over dale and hollow land Beyond the vale and jagged shore Myths and legends told firsthand Tales that live forever more Anthems echo round the glen Tongues blessed with angelic tone Voices of a thousand men Expressing song wherefrom they’ve grown Miners toiling night and day Aching bones have took their toll Daily grind to earn their pay Homeward bound to warm the soul Snowdonia reaches to the sky Meadows bathed in evening sun Hawks and kestrels born to fly Home to roost now day is done...
