A Brand New Horizon

Each heart is like a diamond in the night sky That lights our journey through life The beacon of hope in a world that's lost its way It gives me reason to look to the future With hope and optimism That this old world will someday banish wars forever The way I'm sure it was meant to be How can this continue, will it all finally end before When there's nothing left to fight over I'm at an age when my future will be relatively short Compare to the millions and millions who will come after I truly believe that most of us are in the majority Those fed up with the way this old world has turned out It's too late for me but I sincerely hope Future generations will see a bright horizon Signifying the new era, a brand new world Filled with love and compassion for all our fellow inhabitants No mater colour, creed, or place of origin This new world order must come soon before it's too late This brand new world of love and understanding That we've been waiting for and praying for, for oh so long Trust me it CAN happen! © Jack Ellison 2014

It will be a while in St. Louis. 2 East St. Louis kids stole a car, ramed it into a gun store(Not the first ones)... grabbed automatic guns and were going to give them to the so called protesters. They were caught. There is an underlaying culture of violence in the black community here. Rioters are not protesters. Most blacks agree that they are thugs. The young sometimes join in. A black girl that works in my Hubby's company couldn't wait to leave work to get her cheap stolen christmas gifts.

It's strange at Christmas here. Crimes are more violent here, now. The good black community want the police left alone to do their jobs. 4 Thug blacks walked into a well know cop bar in S. County.The thugs walked into the bar and the 1st thing they did was shoot a woman in the head. A shootout occured. They were there to kill. Sad... They were caught. Several hurt.

I do trust -- grey beards are wise -- with what's left we can encourage and teach them to laugh -- through laughter of love and joy are the seeds of peace. Well done good dear friend.
