             Afghanistan to Zimbabwe

Moving at a slumbering snail's pace,
toward a slow and unfocused change
for the human race,
bickering, quibbling,
teetering up, teetering down,
moving right, moving left,
stumbling, fumbling
and falling to the ground,
leaves nations with freedom issues unresolved!

Where is the insight,
the vision 'bout tomorrow,
to spring forth and lead these human herds
away from their lemming fate and sorrow?

With the changing of the guard,
we let selfish egos die
while hoisting a young eagle's flag to the sky,
waving a banner of victory for all to see,
in a world of new freedoms,
guaranteed, in a democracy!

Oh, what be the cost of this great liberty
as each nation's mothers cry...
"Where have all the children gone?"
Then the nation's solemnly reply...
"Gone to graveyards, one by one;
gone to graveyards, every one!"

Very poignant and a subject too tough for most of us.  Joyce
