Sure would Ameen! If this ever happens I want to be a part of it. I imagine every poet here would. Sigh, none to soon me thinks.

I really like the picture you found to adorn the thoughts in your poem. You are so right when you said... We are the world. It comes down to each and everyone one of us to make this world a better place for one and all... John

Of course, this idea has been expressed many times but you bring originality to it with the form and the last line which tickled me. Love that you made "heavens" plural.

Us humans - We humans
Your poem is in excellent syllable count and structure for the Whitney
You create a wonderful visual of all humans of the world linking hands, and you deliver a most thoughtful thought in your final line that made me smile :-) Brooke

'Stairway to Heaven' is a good thought in a nice poem. However, there is reality. The lord blessed us to think for ourselves. We must become better people, join together for life around us to make a better place.

Awesome picture. Enjoyable read. Nice work!

At first glance, I thought the picture was of a sea anemone--then, I saw the colorful hands! John is another philosopher on the site--I'm glad his work inspired you. I enjoyed your Whitney and second your plea--becoming "one" would be a great "surprise!" -Joan
