Glimpse of the Future

a poem by Juliana Dias

Get a glimpse of the FUTURE
How will that be
Will it bring peace
Or disrupt harmony
Get a glimpse of the future
Will mankind rise
Or will it drown in the deluge
Of tears and cries
Get a glimpse of the future
Will the human race succeed
Or will it call doom
With its actions of greed
Given a chance
Will he advance
And with this grace
Give the world a better face?

O wish I knew!
O wish I knew!
If the future we could view
Would we bring compassion and love to earth
By spreading across goodwill and mirth?
If yes, I’d say to God in Sky
To give this grace to every eye.
