The Night Before the World Turns

Are we on the verge, finally, of realizing the birth of
The Age of Aquarius?
Is She ready to come fully into this world?
To begin Her life of Hope, Love, Trust, Promise.

We who were directly touched by the eloquence of John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Feel our hearts stir when we listen to Barack Hussein Obama.
So what if he were Muslim, so what if he is Christian, so what if he were Jew.
Thank you Colin Powell. You have throughly redeemed yourself.

Dare we hope that we can feel connected again as One
With ourselves, with the entire world?
As we did long ago;
Having friends, personally, enter into
Service via the Peace Corps.

Dare we hope for
Brightness, Hope, and Peace
vs.
Fear, Hate, Fight.
“I will fight for this country. I will fight for you.”
“I’ve been fighting since I was 17 years old; and I have the scars to prove it.”
“I know how to fight.”
And dare pray kind sir, What else do you know how to do?

Is it too much to ask for a World Kumbyaya moment?
Is it too much to believe that I am living through
The night before the world turns.
