Fairy Tale of Hope

Once Upon a Time . . . 

babies 

and children 

in many parts of the World 

kept

in their hearts 

 the Truth  

of a common message, they understood 

the miracle 

of transformation,

how it is 

that a blundering bullfrog 

becomes 

a charming prince

and 

why it is 

that an ugly duckling 

grows up 

to be 

an elegant swan 

We can, if we want to, make the World a better place for the next generation, provided we pull together instead of constantly pulling apart. Elected and unelected leaders appear to take delight in squabbling and insulting our intelligence, all too often parading their folly in the public eye, and all too often forcing  us all, and that includes children and babies, into conflicts and wars. Leaders, you are parents and grandparents too. Please set a decent example. It's time to kiss and make up, and wear some new clothes.
