WakingUp With @NWCreativeUnion ~ We Are the World

The Call


The Prompt

              

My Response

We Are the World...

Do you think this was the plan,
When the earth revealed to us her true riches
It was so she could watch us fight tooth and nail
To control them?

Do you think this was HIS plan
To arm the children with weapons
To tackle the nonbelievers
Charlatans and deceivers.

Back to work means back to war
A revolution built on fear
Scarcity, propaganda
Could we not plant a garden to feed the hungry
Rather than sell a military contract
To a corporation who profits
From death and despair.

Why is the right choice always the hardest?
Why should we have to cry when we watch the news
Or feel the seed of hate attempting to be planted
As big business buys the main stream.

Are you content to live this way?
Does your heart hold the soil
Where the seed will thrive
Nourished in shadows
And misinformation.

Are you proud to be a member of the only species
That can attack without provocation
That will kill for crude
Every man, woman, and child?

Are you willing to stand by
While our need for consumption
Corrupts the entrepreneurial spirit
The holy spirit
And our sacred hearts.

The answer lies within
It always has
We know the man who holds the gun
Will be the man to misconstrue the threat
Even more so when it’s invisible
Taking root within his soul
We were created out of love
No matter which maker you give credit to

We were created to foster peace
No matter the army colors your wear

We were created as a whole
With no soul left behind

So that we too, could create...
And look at what we’ve done…

It's an incredibly tough video to watch...least, I hope it is.  You can share your thoughts too...linking up with The New World Creative Union where I'm making an attempt to wake up some minds, open up a conversation, and maybe...get us moving a little bit closer to changing our ways.  At this point in the game, it had to be worth a try.  Wake UP! I DARE you!

killing for crude...yep....but we will come up with other excuses that sound more in line with humanity...am i contant to live this way, no...its going to take a major over haul...democracy has been undermined...our options are dictated to us by the ones that pay the bills so our choice is still theirs in many ways...

Lots of truth and wisdom you have spun within your tapestry of words Natasha. Perhaps, some of the sleepers will awaken if they read this. Perhaps, only time will tell...

yes it was a hard watch Tash - but so much truth lies there and in your words - yes we were created in love and yes we were meant to exercise peace, always wondered why this is so hard to do - and your idea of a garden for the hungry children of the world - wonderful vision but oh so possible - hugs Lib

So much truth and wisdom...We who have sat silent have also carried weapons of destruction. Who could not read this peace and not want to wake from their apathy? Fantastic piece!!

Excellent job conveying such a difficult thing. Getting people to see, to change are incredibly difficult feats. Your piece here really makes continual reasons for the change, as what is going on now certainly is desperately needing an overhaul in a major way. Great write Tash. Thanks

Useful information. Lucky me I found your web
site accidentally, and I am shocked why this coincidence didn't happened in advance! I bookmarked it.

Hi just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the
images aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure
why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same results.

Right now it seems like Wordpress is the preferred blogging platform available right
now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?

Neat blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make
my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your theme.
Thanks

You actually make it seem really easy with your presentation however I to find this topic to be really something that I believe I might by no means
understand. It kind of feels too complex and very wide for me.

I'm taking a look forward for your next put up, I'll attempt to
get the dangle of it!
