I have a dream
Somehow, someday
That evolution throws away
The "angry" gene that plagues mankind
Destroys your soul, corrupts your mind
And in its place an inner calm
With nations walking arm in arm
Towards the common goal of peace
That Holy Grail, that Golden Fleece !
Let evolution cast it's spell
Day by day, cell by cell
May take a hundred million years,
Well worth the wait to banish fears.
Imagine such a wondrous scheme!
I have a dream...
I have a dream.....
-----------------------
Imagine......you may say
I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one.
John Lennon (1940 - 1980)

@sjw Thanks kiddo for your lovely comment and repost. I remember the day he was shot - a truly sad day. π’
@crowncottage Thanks for your lovely comment and RP Linda.π It's ironic that Lennon and Martin Luther King were both fierce advocates for peace and were both killed by the assassin's bullet.
I know, there is a message there somewhere and I hope eventually peace will prevail. Not in our lifetime though! πΏ

@eddie12309 Thanks for the repost Eddie. Glad you like it. Yeah, I believe MLK was shot because he could make a difference and because people were willing to listen to him. π
