Hope

I thought this would be encouraging to us.

One of these days, the world will look much different than it does today. It will not be the same because we will not be the same.
The crashing cars will be still and the drunken drivers will be sober. The screaming husbands and the crying wives will be quiet. The innocent children will no longer be abused. Warriors will lay down their weapons. There will be no battle to win and no turf to defend. The hungry will be filled, the poor will be looked after, and the homeless will be warmed by love. They will have dignity.
One of these days, the world will look much different than it does today. It will not be the same because we will not be the same.
Guns will be silenced, not to conceal their fatal fire, but because there is no firing at all. There will be nowhere to aim; no hatred to spill forth. Marriages won't end any more. Families won't be ripped apart by divorce, separation, and selfishness. And we won't ignore the people we live with in favor of television or video games or our own rooms.
One of these days, the world will look much different than it does today. It will not be the same because we will not be the same.
Students will not cut themselves, starve themselves, kill themselves, trap themselves, drug themselves, ignore themselves, or indulge themselves any more. They won't fill their lives with sound and they will no longer fear silence. They won't make fun of each other. They won't hurt each other.
One of these days, the world will look much different than it does today. It will not be the same because we will not be the same.
We won't label ourselves the way we do: poor or rich; Democrat or Republican; black, white, Hispanic, Asian, or "other." We won't look down on one another, talk bad about one another, or be harsh with one another. There won't be road rage or sports rage. We won't create drama to have something to complain about and we won't look for conflict so we have something juicy to talk about.
One of these days, the world will look much different than it does today. It will not be the same because we will not be the same.
Work will not be our god. Sports will not be our god. We will not be our god. They will not be our god. Media will not be our god. Religion will not be our god.
One of these days, the world will look much different than it does today. It will not be the same because we will not be the same.
We will live in harmony with one another. We will laugh together, eat together, and live together. We will share what we have, accept what don't from those who do, and love that we don't have to pretend any more. We will celebrate that there are no more wars to fight, funerals to attend, or losses to mourn. We will learn who we are, be committed to those around us, and be resolved to stick it out during the toughest of times. We will know who we are, be okay with who we are, and celebrate who we are. God will be God.
One of these days, the world will look much different than it does today. It will not be the same because we will not be the same.
We will not be the same because I will not be the same. I will not be the same because I refuse to stay the same. If I stay the same then we will be the same. If we are the same then the world will not change. It will look like to does today.Today is no good.Today is just more of the same.
Bring on tomorrow.
