In another thousand years, What will come to pass? If one does but consider What’s happened in the last? From catapults and stones We’ve gone, to fusion energy. From ignorance of global earth We’ve entered space, you see. Transplants of vital organs Are now quite commonplace- And plastic surgeons do transform The figure and the face... The only thing which hasn’t changed Indeed, it never can. Is man’s desire to dominate- Or kill his fellow man. Nobility, and chivalry, Are facades at their best... Social order’s a veneer Just put it to the test. But here’s to all which lays ahead And all that now is past- Endeavor, friend, to persevere- How ever long we last. From "The Outlaw Josey Wales": "Dyin' ain't much of a livin' boy". and..."Aclose second is a poor finish, in a fight to the Death". ~GS~ http://www.geocities.com/montcogunslinger/HomePage.html |

We've come so far, but still have far to go. Maybe by the end of the next millennium, we will be able to love each other instead of kill. It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |

So true, much changes but the heart of man remains the same...no matter the century. Only God can change that! Well done, again, Gunslinger. Denise |

'Tis not the way of the gales but the set of the sails that determine where they go... Good one Gunslinger. In the end, I suspect, we will achieve Only that which our hearts can perceive. Victor [This message has been edited by Imari (edited 01-03-2000).] |
