collective consciousness

taking a reading of the c.c. today leaves much to be desired
how can people of earth find happiness
when there is so much going wrong

should we ignore others and their unhappiness, illness, even death?
have we the right to do that
bury our heads in the sand of comfort and oblivion

do we, who feel happiness and thankfulness
who desire a happy moment, get to feel relief
from everyone else's torment

I think if we are to survive, we must allow
the happiness we feel to take over our hearts
to permeate the unhappiness of the c.c.

be a generator of happiness, pumping it into
the clouds of dismay that hover over our planet
blow it over, under and through the grey mists of despair

picture what could happen when the bright light of happiness
burns away some of the sadness,
a parting of the clouds
displaying the beauty within
illuminating what God intended
