SANITY

                    Ten years from now, what issues in our news
                     Will disappear, no longer troubling us?
                     If I could pick, there’s one foremost I’d choose
                     So we’d no longer have such strain and fuss.
                     First off, of course, I’d start with dreadful war,
                     The worst of all the evils in the world,
                      Which only lunatics would not deplore,
                      A state where we’re in endless terror hurled,
                      A fundamental cause of which is greed,
                      The lust for power and supremacy,
                       From which by only love may we be freed
                       So we may live in health and harmony.
                            What would it take to bring about this state?
                             The sanity to choose love over hate.
