Set the Future Aflame

SET THE FUTURE AFLAME Children: Glorifying drums of hope Undying sparkles of wisdom Fortifying steps of eternity Glittering dreams of tomorrow’s Realities! Your innocence Your truthfulness Your honesty Your purity Your lack of past, I worship For that, I yearn The time for you To stop, Your advance to Impede, Your march to an End to bring, Before You reach the Treacherous cliffs: Of blame Of deceit Of duplicity Of deception Of immorality THUS Pious Your feelings Your thoughts Your beliefs Your spirituality Will remain FOR The sacred torch, Of "The New Loving World" To carry on And with that Your unblemished Future To set AFLAME! ©Demetrios Trifiatis 11 February 2013

We have to keep talking on these things for when we don't they will die!

Very moving piece! I fear we will not see a loving world during our life time. It seems each successive generation is doomed to repeat the mistakes of their fathers all the while thinking they are so different.
