The Future

Stop killing the wildlife, 
Stop poisoning the seas, 
Stop us fighting each other, 
Let’s fight all disease,
As a humanity we could go far, 
Discovering the Earth, and searching the star’s, 
clean up the planet we call home, 
Let’s discover things like the unknown, there’s so much more we could do, like loving each other through and through, 
Think of the people we kill each day, surely there has to be a better way, 
Let us stop all hate to each other, 
You are my sister and my brother, 
This is my wish for us all today, 
Living together straight and gay,
Let us live together making it right, living together Black, mixed, or white.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
