On the Way

We have created the tools for peace or war--something between an open and shut door, like water that runs hot and cold. Something like the difference between what's young and old. Like the sun shines in the morning light. Like that's the difference between going wrong and doing right. Like the two sides of the same brain, each side is different but still the same. We have duplicated the nature of life; now we must decide which one is right. It's obvious to most but not to all. We can rise or start to sink and fall. We live in a time where a decision must be made. We can live in the sun or start to fade. All I can do is point this out, and ask everyone what this is about. I can ask the question and put it in words, and it can remain on paper, or never be heard. So much has been undone; there is much sadness and very little fun. I can tell you, now, that something must be done, in a world that was made for everyone. Not only for us who are alive today, but also for future generations that are on the way.
