A Beautiful Tomorrow

Though the future looks dark

Through the aperture of this turbulent mark

And hope flies away like a lark

From the violent doggy bark

Soiling up our peaceful park

And ignorance swamps reasoned hark

I see a beautiful tomorrow

Where war we no longer borrow

Or walk streets marked with sorrow

Through the accursed backward narrow

And the imposed uninvited harrow

From men with agendas shallow

In poisoned anemic marrow

Let the good people arise

Take revered cowardice by surprise

Through united and courageous enterprise

In strengthened harmony that beggars reprise

On acceptable principles and not mere surmise

Our destiny from decay to prise

Ignorance will bow to reason

Corruption will be out of season

Righteousness will arise in person

Hatred will be thrown into prison

Sentenced for inhuman treason

By the people it sought to jettison
