Let the Symbol Stand

A circle of harmony, symbolizing the Idealism of peace, In this world of troubling times, We do lean against it's inner bars, For comforts sake alone. Let us turn a new page, my friend In history no more black ink, But a greener color a weaved lore wreath, For the dawning of an age of Enlightenment. Can one hear mother natures voice calling, It is time for the Eco revolution to begin, So let us join together and save our world. Let the winds of change blow free, What a better symbol to represent, Than that of peace, waving in open Air, captured in the morning breeze. Flower power's generation has come of age, Dig out those tie-die T-shirts and Let us represent not with voices, But with action. Light the torch of freedom again, It's flame needs new kindling, Stoke it's sacred embers once more, And allow the modern world to Know we are American, the country Illuminating a greener planet. By example shall the United States Stand tall, or fall by natural disaster's After shock. The global unity of the brethren, of Mankind can make a difference, Let our inspiration be our children, The future generation, inheritance Should be something worth the leaving Of it behind. A legacy called pride, on a green planet, Proud of my kindred called humanity, Let our youth hold their heads up high, Not low in shame. Allow the age of peace to stand for Something meaningful, I'll give the sign What about you? BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN

So well put Cheryl, as I read I am minded of the many attempts to 'make a difference' I think of the times it has happened, and of the many times failure has been seen supplanting it..' yet to do nothing is by far worse, I think before action sober discussion is a nescessary thing, also keeping focused on what motivates 'leaders' and stay away from jingoisim.. well there's a point of view, make of it what you will, take care Joe..)
