A Glorious Era

In spite of all the terrible things That continue to happen all around the world It's still the most amazing place to be Undoubtedly there are some who would vehemently disagree But from my humble perspective, this is how I feel It's always been a matter of how we look at things There's no denying that uncontrollable evil exists In the hearts of some men who gain power by force This is certainly by far the least praiseworthy of all human traits But I'm sure deep down in MOST people's hearts Lies goodness trying it's damnedest to survive Believe it or not, I still have faith in the human condition And that the souls of all good men and women everywhere Will eventually win out in some glorious future time Amen! © Jack Ellison 2014

Nice prayer... and a song... Dragon is clapping! He loved it! This time of year stay away from the malls... That's where the crazies are... We don't buy presents any more... The kids likes are too expensive and they tend to buy every thing for them selves... We give them a little money to spend... on themselves and their girlfriends... It works here.

And after the riots... everyone is doing their shopping across the river... We ordered a few movies by computer... Safer that way.
