When-

When the world runs out of tears When every lie has been told When all the bullets have been fired And there’s no more homeless in the cold When all the landfills have been emptied When all the species again thrive When all the starving have had supper And in no more pain we writhe When all our children have loving parents When all racism has been hanged When we finally pull together We will reach our promised land

The hope for mankind is universal acceptance. On a bumper sticker I saw When the power of love becomes greater than the love of power there will be peace. God Bless. Vince
