Hope is an airy thing.
Wispy like smoke.
What if we all held out hope as a rag doll?
Giving it life with our imaginations.
Our future looks bleak, yet we have the power to create a hopeful future.
Why do we cling to the past? To the way things were done before 2020?
We have a chance to start again. To do it differently. Right now.
To create the world as more fair, more just, more connected than ever.
What if we base that world on respect?
Respect for each other, for the natural world around us and its wild creatures..
That sounds pretty good to me.
I've been to the past and I know we can do better.
Greed, anger, and ignorance don't need to reign in our world.
