If I were in charge of the world
I'd cancel oatmeal,
Monday mornings,
Allergy shots, and also Sara Steinberg.
...
I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn
...
The brooding ghosts of Australian night have gone from the bush and town;
My spirit revives in the morning breeze,
though it died when the sun went down;
...
If the world was crazy, you know what I'd eat?
A big slice of soup and a whole quart of meat,
A lemonade sandwich, and then I might try
...
The story's told
Of long ago
About a statue
With a head of gold
...
O world, I cannot hold thee close enough!
Thy winds, thy wide grey skies!
Thy mists that roll and rise!
Thy woods this autumn day, that ache and sag
...
When you look for peace
then the peace lies within you
When you search for peace
then it is not hard to find
...
'Attar began The Conference of the Birds (Mantiq al-tair) with an invocation praising the holy Creator in which he suggested that one must live a hundred lives to know oneself; but you must know God by the deity, not by yourself, for God opens the way, not human wisdom. 'Attar believed that God is beyond all human knowledge. The soul will manifest itself when the body is laid aside. One cannot gain spiritual knowledge without dying to all things. When the birds assemble, they wonder why they have no king. The Hoopoe presents herself as a messenger from the invisible world with knowledge of God and the secrets of creation. She recommends Simurgh as their true king, saying that one of his feathers fell on China.
The Nightingale says that the love of the Rose satisfies him, and the journey is beyond his strength; but the Hoopoe warns against being a slave of passing love that interferes with seeking self-perfection. The Parrot longs for immortality, and the Hoopoe encourages the Peacock to choose the whole. The Duck is too content with water to seek the Simurgh. The Hoopoe advises the Partridge that gems are just colored stones and that love of them hardens the heart; she should seek the real jewel of sound quality. The Humay is distracted by ambition, and the Owl loves only the treasure he has found. The Hoopoe reprimands the Sparrow for taking pride in humility and recommends struggling bravely with oneself. She states that the different birds are just shadows of the Simurgh. If they succeed, they will not be God; but they will be immersed in God. If they look in their hearts, they will see the divine image. All appearances are just the shadow of the Simurgh. Those loving truly do not think about their own lives and sacrifice their desires. Those grounded in love renounce faith and religion as well as unbelief. One must hear with the ear of the mind and the heart.

My Stella 54
(Occupied with love)
What wilt the world say about our love so unlike the nature?
...
We have now won two world-wars, neither of which concerned us, we were
slipped in. We have levelled the powers
Of Europe, that were the powers of the world, into rubble and
dependence. We have won two wars and a third is comming.
...
Welcome to my world
Some say it's a simple place
Well that may be so
But at least, there's always a smile on my face
...
World was in the face of the beloved--,
but suddenly it poured out and was gone:
world is outside, world can not be grasped.
...
Good bye to this world....
when the son kills his father
and the father forsakes his son
Good bye to this world
...
Oh, the world is all too rude for thee, with much ado and care;
Oh, this world is but a rude world, and hurts a thing so fair;
...
the withering heights of fading grace
a mirror not reflect all, but only the face
we turn to dust what wise men say
skins and bones they wither away
...
Why don't we all take a hard look at the world we live in.
Why is it that we have all the hate not love,
Why is there all ways room for war, not peace?
Why is it that no one ever thinks about the consequences of their actions?
...
Whoever now weeps somewhere in the world,
weeps without reason in the world,
weeps over me.

Before all the wondrous shows of the widespread space around him, what living, sentient thing loves not the all-joyous light -- with its colors, its rays and undulations, its gentle omnipresence in the form of the wakening Day? The giant-world of the unresting constellations inhales it as the innermost soul of life, and floats dancing in its blue flood -- the sparkling, ever-tranquil stone, the thoughtful, imbibing plant, and the wild, burning multiform beast inhales it -- but more than all, the lordly stranger with the sense-filled eyes, the swaying walk, and the sweetly closed, melodious lips. Like a king over earthly nature, it rouses every force to countless transformations, binds and unbinds innumerable alliances, hangs its heavenly form around every earthly substance. -- Its presence alone reveals the marvelous splendor of the kingdoms of the world.
Aside I turn to the holy, unspeakable, mysterious Night. Afar lies the world -- sunk in a deep grave -- waste and lonely is its place. In the chords of the bosom blows a deep sadness. I am ready to sink away in drops of dew, and mingle with the ashes. -- The distances of memory, the wishes of youth, the dreams of childhood, the brief joys and vain hopes of a whole long life, arise in gray garments, like an evening vapor after the sunset. In other regions the light has pitched its joyous tents. What if it should never return to its children, who wait for it with the faith of innocence?
...
Half the world lives,
Half the world makes,
Half the world gives
While the other half takes.
...
The world of dew is, yes,
a world of dew,
but even so
...
In the Book of God (Ilahi-nama) 'Attar framed his mystical teachings in various stories that a caliph tells his six sons, who are kings themselves and seek worldly pleasures and power.
The first son is captivated by a virgin princess, and his father tells him the adventures of a beautiful and virtuous woman who attracts several men but miraculously survives their abuse and then forgives them. They acknowledge that carnal desire is necessary to propagate the race but also recognize that passionate love can lead to spiritual love, which can annihilate the soul in the beloved.
Other stories indicate the importance of respecting the lives of other creatures such as ants or dogs. One only thinks oneself better than a dog because of one's dog-like nature.

One evening there came into his soul the desire to fashion an image of The Pleasure that abideth for a Moment. And he went forth into the world to look for bronze. For he could only think in bronze.

In my young years I took pride in the fact that luck was called a lady. In fact, there were so few public acknowledgments of the female presence that I felt personally honored whenever nature and large ships were referred to as feminine. But as I matured, I began to resent being considered a sister to a changeling as fickle

Amazing people across the globe since folk law and myth matters
Mystifying array of vibrant colors litters the sky with glitters,
Lent by sun, a gift of wonder is northern lights or Auruoa Borealis,
Multicolors dawn the sky at the Southern Lights or TAurora Australis

Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye,
That thou consum'st thy self in single life?
Ah, if thou issueless shalt hap to die,
The world will wail thee like a makeless wife.

The wheat stands ripe
Rear end is coming

What can a yellow glove mean in a world of motorcars and governments?
I was small, like everyone. Life was a string of precautions: Don’t kiss the squirrel before you bury him, don’t suck candy, pop balloons, drop watermelons, watch TV.

The world is narrow and ways are short, and our lives are dull and slow,
For little is new where the crowds resort, and less where the wanderers go;
Greater, or smaller, the same old things we see by the dull road-side --

The astronaut

for he sees the world
from the height of its vantage point

In my perfect world
The sky is a perfect blue
The grass is a soft green
And together are me and you

Without your precious love
I’d be as empty as a drum
You’re my entire world
My stars, my moon, my sun.

The world 'I am' and the world 'I do.'"
The worlds in which we live at heart are one,

i love this world, when the world loves me
i hate this world, when the world hates me
Proudly i claim i've all the freedom
But are my thoughts really free from this WORLDLY kingdom.

When shall the world in splendour rise
To touch those sweet empyreal skies
Above all things in shadows cast
As captured there through years long passed

When Wisdom tells me that the world’s a speck
Lost on the shoreless blue of God’s To-Day...
I smile, and think, ‘For every man his way:
The world’s my ship, and I’m alone on deck!’

Let the year 2k+11 blossom
Ever let it remain green handsome
The world to be at peace and harmony!

The world is great: the birds all fly from me,
The stars are golden fruit upon a tree
All out of reach: my little sister went,

Show me the order of the world,
the hard-edge light of this-is-so
prior to all experience
and common to both world and thought,

I want to live in a world,
where I can smile,
I want to live in a world,
where I can cry,

Who hath constructed the elements
And their atoms' configuration?
Who hath designed every molecule
And shapes their chemical formation?

An innocent virgin from a hidden haunted house
Who comes out to the new civilized world?
The Bridegroom is unknown from the lower depths?
We all wish them a happy wedded life forever

The world needs more poetry
Before everybody is blown away
Forever
The world needs more poetry

I broider the world upon a loom,
I broider with dreams my tapestry;
Here in a little lonely room
I am master of earth and sea,

The world's light shines, shine as it will,
The world will love its darkness still.

I swing to the sunset land--
The world of prairie, the world of plain,
The world of promise and hope and gain,
The world of gold, and the world of grain,

I dream a world where there's no war,
No suffering, crying, sorrow.
I dream a world where all are rich,
A man needs nothing to borrow.

Seven Whispers pass me by.
Unknowing, unrevealing,
The secret, which lies in the whisper of the mind.
The mind is imaginary, full of trickery and magical places
...
In the present chaotic world friendship in need
Understanding, feeling, helping, developing
Each other, one another, far and neighborhood
To dismiss the dreadful situations increasing,
...
The soft whispers, the violent screams, the wimpers of self induced pain. My life such a crime that it was wasted on this earth, molested by the winds, raped by the sun, murdered by the fire. I am a victim of this earth, attempting to live and die at the same time.
You cannot tell me how impossible it is to live with a pessimistic attitude. I already know. I am not ignorant, I am not all knowing.

The time of shoddy

Chinese clothing

A light hidden deep in stacks of straw,
And blankets dense of darkness mound,
You blasted into world with celestial flaws,
A hand for believers who live in gloom round.

How am I supposed to write under conditions like these?
Barreling motorcar roar through my alley, please.
Wake me, shake me from my world nocturne
Turn me, burn me; dump me in my urn.

Tonight,

Creating a glorious sight
On a field of grass

Parky the penguin felt so low,
He didn’t really like the snow,

Across his icy world.

The world has reached inevitable maturity,
as shown in the current status of the society.
Various foretelling episodes became obvious,
corruption and obliteration of lives were heinous.

In My world,
Poverty shan't exist in our world.
Everybody would be treated with equality,
Yet hard work would always be present.

My love for you is a boundless ocean
But the world can only see drops of it,
My feelings about you flow incessantly

In Short What Is In The Poem Mediterranean Girl's War Phobia
May 5, 2023
The poem "Mediterranean Girl's War Phobia" is a wake-up call by the poet. The poem observes the world and the nature of inhumanity taking place, especially in the Gulf regions. Notably, these countries have been in constant fights. As a result, people have died, others have migrated to safer areas, and several other impacts felt. The poet realizes the effects these wars bring to the environment, such as pollution resulting from the heavy ammunition and war weapons used. Meanwhile, the 21st century has brought a different kind of civilization that is desirable for any society. In the wake of this, the poet hopes for a transformation to end all these confrontations and form a peaceful block with no unrest.
...
Like infectious virus, terrorism is spread by religious bigots in the world;
Corona pandemic is spread all over the world by globalization of economy;
Coupled with that, pollution of air, water and environment has triggered disasters;
All these things point out to man made mistakes needing to be rectified soon!
...
I want to see a world from the window,
A happy world,
A quiet world,
A beautiful world,
...
THE world is large, when its weary leagues two loving hearts divide;
But the world is small, when your enemy is loose on the other side.
...
I wanna live in a world with no such thing as fear.
Where all people are honest and truly sincere
Where people don't hurt you.
There's not reason to cry
...
I turn the corner and to my surprise I find myself looking at me and it said you need to turn your life around
So just when I think im safe I fin d a robber stelling from an old woman. This world has changed so much since the good old days when you could walk down Main Street without the thought of death cling to you
