Another Vision

I dreamt of another day Day when fathers halt whipping mothers Mothers who bridge families Families sitting together under a tree A tree of togetherness and absolution Absolution of a lion to gazelle A gazelle grazing with hyenas Hyenas laughing in the meadow The meadow where I see the sun The sun above shining for everyone Everyone shaking everyone’s hands Hands for reunion and durable concord Concord bringing smiles on people’s faces Faces glowing of hope for tomorrow Tomorrow, when we can stand for the ecosystem.
