This Vision Must Not with Us Stay
Vivid and bright those colors.
As they appeared...
From a past that has taken,
An innocence away.
Laughter uninhibited,
That seemed to infest with it...
The air and the environments shared,
All once knew the world over.
There was a caring perceived.
And humanity then,
Had not yet been bombarded with complexities.
And we as a people aspired to succeed,
Within a collective interdependency believed.
Today our anxieties and conflicts,
Come to sit with us...
As priorities we now accept,
As a way of life.
But this vision must not with us stay.
