I glanced around at the sun-filled horizon, as
My mind was filled with extacy.  

Wow!  No more dissease.  No more problems!

Standing in the middle of the deck, at the back
Of my house, I could see the distant horizon,
As the sun set on the sea.
It looked so golden!

Everything ahead looked so great!

I went to bed that night, and when I awoke, I went
Outside to view the regular Joy to the World parades.
Endless lines of children hopped and danced, in a coordinated line.
They all had eyes that were a very beautiful blue, and
They all did exactly the same things in the dance.
Above them, fluttering in the breeze,
Was a banner with the name of some big corporation
Written in bold lettering on it.

And finally, after the children had danced past,
A float drove past, once again with the name of
That corporation on it.  Sitting in the middle,
Was a plump, fat man, with a cherry nose.  
He giggled and chuckled, and in his eyes
Were dollar signs.

Oh what a wonderful future we had!
