2000 years what have we learned?
To consume, devour, build and burn.
Worship serve earn and save;
To war and rape, capture and enslave.
Torture and kill in more efficient ways,
Steal, cheat, distort and maim.
A race is on, a human race,
To advance and develop with thoughtless haste.
A machine weve made an effective one,
Which destroys our world we call our home.
Lets slow it down, retread the years,
Of endless suffering and bitter tears.
When mankinds main goal infused power and greed,
To rid the earth of race and creed.
A new millennium draws near, I hope and prey,
For our childrens sake they see the day.
Of raising a family, experiencing love.
Not the witnessing of violence or the spilling of blood.
2000 years what can we learn?
To honour, cherish, love our own.
Care for our elderly, conserve our fuel.
Open our hearts make our promises true.
Stop the wars that emerge each day,
For if we dont well fade away.
Lets make a new start by 2001,
Lets stop this race into oblivion.
Secure the future for our childrens sake,
Lets make amends,
Its not to late

"Nothing is new under the sun;
all has been said, all has been done;
the blood of the good will mix with the bad
Salvation lays only in God's mighty hand.
Be the light of the world
Give hope where theres none.
Comfot the living, bury the dead.
Give wisdom and courage
to all who have dread. |

Soooo true! Very nice write!! I agree whole-heartedly! It's too bad that there aren't more people like us (includes Archie). I worry about our granchildren's children. We are raping the earth and killing each other. Why can't we all get along? Love one another. Sorry to be so cliche' but that's how I feel. Just someone put it into words before me. Oh Well. Great write!!
