And what of our soldiers, sent out to die in meaningless wars to make those that created those wars ever richer.
Where are our eagles? Where are the standard bearers? Let us rally to the standard bearers. If they fall, we all fall. If you want to go to war, choose your battles wisely. Fight for the good of all.
Leave our colonial past behind. Let us have partners in power.
Who will lead us now? There is no Caesar.
Look to our children. They still care.
We look to the light, but it is still hidden in clouds of death. Death is in our waters. Death flies in on a breeze. It clings, it envelops. Benzene, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide await us now. We have two enemies now.
One in the water and one in the air. Be vigilant. Your life and that of your children rests in your hands.
Our world calls every person to action. Each new generation is given the torch while they have the Olympic stamina to bear it.
We deserve this world. We deserve the good and the bad. We have plundered its beauty, created empires of grey, and killed our plants, animals and fellow human beings in the name of progress.
We have divided and conquered and when we look into the mirror of our conscience, do we like what we see? Is this our greater self?
We can do better.
Today is a new year.
Embrace hope in this summer of our lives
It is the summer of our lives.
We can no longer abuse and tear down. We can no longer justify the emptiness.
