I hope I live

 

 

I hope I live to see the day

when long distance is merely a moment,

when every conversation is in person no matter the miles,

when virtual means more than a vivid electronic imagination,

when the definition for disease becomes cured,

when touching can take place wherever you are,

when pain is consumed by happiness,

when kindness is the only law and everyone obeys it,

when just a thought will bring you to me,

when every dream is more real than reality,

when hate is obliterated by love,

when every wish is easily within reach,

when war is only a rock band remembered from the 70's,

when poverty is considered history and

 

when eternal means you and me,

so I don't have to worry about it anymore

Thank you so very much Suk. Those two lines were the reason I wrote the poem, happy you liked them.

When kindness is the only law and everyone obeys it...

Thank you so much Ana. It would certainly be something, unfortunately I will probably never see it, but it is nice to think about.
