Is everything prearranged and destined to be? <br />Does destiny have an upper hand…or is choice ours? <br />Are events in the future predicted with accuracy… <br />Ahead of scheduling…by the position of the stars <br /> <br />Relying on a forecast of predestined temperatures <br />Winds blow with freezing fate and impending gloom <br />In this land of prophecy… desolation is a matter of time… <br />Resigning to the fact that the world’s course is doomed <br /> <br />I, for one, am inspired by gentle breezes of love and hope <br />This rendition of optimism sets my heart afloat when I see <br />A script that allows for a future of fairness and respect… <br />The sanctity of human life and moral love results in decency <br /> <br />Please, do not wake me from my dreams of lasting peace <br />And proclaim that I am a daft unassuming imbecile <br />I’d rather breathe in the presence of wishful thinking <br />Than wallow in the depths of despair that inevitably kill <br /> <br />4/17/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/prophecy/
