Generations from now, perhaps several, perhaps few,
An Angel returns home, unsure what to do.
On the way home from school, she changed routine,
Now feeling uneasy, unsure what she has seen.

Through the open door, of her comfortable home,
Her loving parents greet her, she is not alone.
Good day precious daughter, what have you to say,
Your expression seems strained, are you troubled today?

This day I read historic books, thought it would be fun,
To learn of life’s ways, in early century 21.
first I thought them fiction, could this really be true,
war, violence, disease, & oppression too.

Our mischievous little Angel, we are sorry to hear,
you’ve read of such things, but you’ve nothing to fear.
Elders consult these books , so they always know,
Of the direction our species, can never again go.

We abandoned long ago, violence & destruction,
Peace & cooperation, now society’s construction.
We learned these ingredients, to be so essential,
To ensure all can rise, to their fullest potential.

So do not worry sweet daughter, do not be upset,
You are safe, free and secure, don’t ever forget.
Your potential unlimited, you will more than survive,
It is your birthright, to dream & grow & thrive.

Below are some suggested organizations that work toward making our world a better place.
We can make the above scenario a reality. It’s the least we can do for our kids!
