Just a dream:
A Dream that recurs often and forever.
A dream - of peace in a warlike world
of nations that remain neutral
of leaders without self-interest
of scientists who will not invent weapons
of soldiers who refuse to fight
of religions that believe what they say
of charities that accomplish their goals
of lawmakers who make laws.
of judges that are impartial
of educators who teach
of journalists who report the news
of understanding between misguided folks.

I'm with you Phil & truly sir ... Amen
Sad to read of so many establishments in need of re-hashing. - -true Phil those areas which should be aware are blindly riddled with uncaring greed so change of attitudes still seems a dream - - but who knows what tomorrow may bring ?
Great read
Dream on, Phil – someone has to…..and indeed there remains a residue…no, that’s unfair. Much honesty good will and altruism do exist in the world but seem outweighed by the power and corruption you cite. I suppose individuals can only try to change those elements within their reach locally.
I’d be lying, however, if I tried to claim I had a more optimistic view of the world that the picture you paint.
Good write. Thanks.
We all have that dream of utopic nations.
