Visions of a Better Day

Some knock the utopians 
believing they are unrealistic 
But why not place hope in the 
center of our world?
I am ready to believe 
in the possibility of a better world
As did my grandmother and great aunts 
Together, we can change the world 
I voted today - I have not yet lost faith in the universal franchise 
Peace.power, and joy 
To all of you out there in the darkness
Hand in hand we will climb the mountain 
Make it to the summit 
With love in our hearts
