Hopelessly Hopeful
I am hopelessly hopeful
of man at last prevailing
over animosity and fear:
mankind finally embracing,
brother to brother, kin to kin,
no sense of creed or nation;
people living under one flag
all aboard the flagship Earth
sailing as God's own children;
Arabs at peace with the Jews,
Christians playing with Hindus,
different beliefs yet undivided;
the fox sleeping with the lamb,
turning guns into plowshares,
harvesting the fruit of the land;
weapons eternally silenced
not to be heard ever again,
forgotten like a bad dream.
Hopefully, foolishly hopeful,
I am betting it all on believing
and helping to make it happen.
