A different Earth

A chapter in the book A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities

Antichthon

by CD Richards


A world is hiding there behind the sun

Not like our Earth at all, this other sphere

The poor have plenty while the rich have none

In caring for each other they find cheer

Can you envision some far world in which

Humanity respects and values life?

The good of all is their religion's pitch

How can it be, on Earth, greed is so rife?

Our species has it all completely wrong

No more excuses, time to get along
