apology

sometimes, when i hear the news,
or read the paper,
or hear how mean people
can be to one another, i wonder
what kind of world we have brought our boy into.

i see how things have changed in my lifetime
and can only imagine what this world will be like
when he is my age.

nothing too profound, my thinking.
we all speculate about the future.
and how effed up it could be
if we don't get our act together.

peace.
it's a sweet idea(listic).

but if we don't strive towards it,
all the money and things the
greedy accumulate won't mean much.

peace.
i hope that our babies have a bright future
and that they'll make a difference.
i can't help but feel that my boy is going to do just that.
