Truth is the Greatest Prize

We had our moments
Some good and some bad
Could we share a future
Against a world so mad
You and me were glad

Can we rewrite history
The one that got away
Is peace such a mystery
To hide what we betray
Can we catch a future

Where once was such hope
Peace that would last and last
The world too tired to cope
We were all so hungry
Coming out of the cold

Now we all must realize
Our future is really not ours
When all our freedom dies
So beware of all the lies
Truth is the greatest prize

Yanque there is so much truth with your words yet hope should never leave us. Could be hope in God or hope in the human spirit to survive.
We see the truth just around the corner, we do not ignore it but we can face it with what we have.
Nice alert Yanque, it's in our front door footsteps. SM

To know our future - we must travel into past history - it is called the Book of Revelations. We have been forewarned and it is up to each individual to stay true. Only true freedom can be obtained through God and with God. Sorry to be so quote "religious" unquote lately but everyone I talk to now who would not have said so a generation ago is saying this is "End Times". At this point I think it is the "freedom" to chose to believe or not to believe that is the greatest gift. Leave the world to itself as the world as it is will be coming to an end soon and a new chapter will begin.

Yankee my way of gaining freedom (of my life my mind) is for a short time of each day realise i cannot change a thing, so i change myself to feel my own freedom
