LONGVIEW

I chose the long view
the one that sees beyond the present terror;
that gazes on a world undisturbed by war
and saw today’s battlefields transformed
into playgrounds for vacationing humanity.

I saw the present battlefields changed;
there were no landmines,
no missiles,
no marching troops,
no tanks -
these were replaced by a united planet:
Earth had become a one country
and humanity one multihued species
blind to the differences that separate
us into races,
nations
and religions.
