Our futures are dim
but our hope is very strong
To succeed in life
we must accept we are wrong

Our futures are dim
but we are still naive
To succeed in life
we must accept, but believe

The author's comments:
I was inspired by a poem about the condition of racial segregation in the 1900's. My poem is about the hope for a better world even when we know its doubtful.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
