MY IMPOSSIBLE DREAM?

At first all this may sound impossible, but then again so did going to the moon, the automobile, TV, electricity, and the best one of all, the vaccine. Right Jonas, you're going to prevent polio by injecting people with the disease! No thanks would have been the response by most of the people.

 

MY IMPOSSIBLE DREAM?

What would yours have been? What about today? Amazing how our perceptions change. There is one thing that is certain. We will never effectively change the future for the better by continuing to do what has not worked in the past. Who hasn't had a difficult problem or task made easier once the proper tool was used or the "right" solution was known. Have you ever heard the expression "as plain as the nose on your face" or "keep it simple". These simple but true expressions seem to be something today's politicians have forgotten. Did you know that when the game of basketball first began, the basket had a bottom on it? For eight years, whenever a point was scored, the ball had to be removed from the basket. It's pretty hard to believe that it took eight long years before someone thought of simply letting the ball to fall through the basket. Can you imagine!
 
I have this impossible dream, or is it?
Today we had no homeless.Today all the people were fed.
Were the front-page headlines on the newspaper that I read
Questions were asked. Starting with why wage we war?
For peace it was answered, But when pondered, all became sure
That killing and fighting and causing destruction
To peace is nothing more than obstruction.
Brother helped brother without regard to race, color, or creed.
Nor was there a mention of that word we call greed.
I remember a smile on my face. Why? Can you guess?
You would smile too if you were taxed less.
I recall a game show, "The Votery" and "A Better Way"
And Democracy, people voting, and them having their say.
At last real solutions to real problems or so it did seem.
Committed am I, never to wake up from this dream.
