Visions

Visions

Visions of a brighter future.

The hope of the hopeless is special indeed.
The wishes of the poorest, a fulfillment of need.
The getting up each day to face the battle ahead.
Harder some days than others until we are dead.

Did you wake up in a dumpster?
Or a box beside a road?
Did you bathe down in the culvert?
Do you carry a heavy load?


Did you watch a vulture watch you
and wonder when and why
Your days are really numbered?
That destiny has died?

We should all envision
A world free from strife,
Hunger and unhappiness,
For the rest of all our life.
