When We Finally See the Light

People of Earth are totally amazing
The ingenuity of the human mind
Ain't no animal in this whole wide world
As unique, we're one of a kind

Pride in the achievements of us *****sapiens
We'll soon be travelling to the stars
Making regular excursions back and forth
Meeting little green men from Mars

A bright new future and a brand new start
Maybe this time we'll get it right
Love and friendship throughout the lands
When we finally see the light

Must sound strange, somewhat delusional
But believe me it just has to be
The alternative is totally unacceptable 
To survive we must all be free

It's totally amazing how far we've come
Since man first began to dream
A time of peace lies just round the corner
When happiness reigns supreme

Russell Sivey June 30, 2013 at 8:29 PM I have to agree with David, down below, on this one...this poem needs to get out and beyond this site! So many people in this world really need to hear your amazing words that you have so perfectly brought together for all of us to read! I am so very impressed by your insight within this poem that you hope that we as homo sapiens would unify and be free and enjoy life together in peace! I just wish this would be true one day! Maybe you could be our President of Poets and lead us! Great work!!
