Hope Of The Future

The fragrance of a family; luxury of impartiality

Judgements not built on spirituality nor nationality

A pain free world; one without being terrorized  

Strolling down streets, devoid of being terrified

 

Can you visualize a world free of germs and toxic waste?

In purity we are placed  

Sanatoriums, if needed, are secluded  

Our land, free of being polluted

 

Unity, a core value bringing joy to the day

Integrity to prevent going astray

Your rights, my rights, are considered valued

It says, ‘Equally created, equally respected’

 

Daily empowerment is sugar for youths

They strive to rightfully be employed

Human trafficking is excluded; none is a slave

Surely will I be reminded to thank my maker for His grace

 

My hope for all governments to significantly represent

No, not an egocentric regime to be of tremendous disrespect

Silent are streets at night; shelter is a provided need

My actions, your actions consider the society we live  

 

But no, can’t lie back

Dreams alone build not a reality

The ashes of yesterday we use,

To build a beautiful tomorrow  

This is my hope of the future

And soon enough, it becomes the new normal
