Mummy..., when I grow up the world will be...'ALL well', there'll be million more stars then, I know it...I can tell. When I grow up mummy, there'll be more trees for shade, and by that time there'll be NO WAR, so you wont feel ...'afraid.' Mummy, it will be fine when I grow up, you’ll see... there'll be more kindness E V E R Y W H E R E ... and I will help to make THAT be. Everyone will own a home with lots of food to SHARE and no body will feel alone and EVERYONE ....WILL care. Mummy, there'll be no guns or battles to cause pain, there'll be NO Armies anywhere so you'll relax.... again. When I grow up mummy, the winters will be cozy, and poor folk wont be sleeping in the park, the those with MORE will help the poor so all will think life's rosy, and nobody will fear what's IN ...The Dark. And mummy... there'll be water there in ALL the driest lands, pipelines reaching E V E R Y W H E R E, wetting thirsty lips and hands. And the rainforests mummy? We'll make them grow again, kids like me ,we WONT forget, we'll make it better...THEN. When I grow up mummy, no bombs will be on Earth, and cars will run on sunshine NOT on oil, and the rivers will be clean again, I know that it WILL happen WHEN... I grow up mummy,in a little while. What is that little frown of doubt on your forehead mum? Don't you believe a better way of life can EVER come? Mummy, children watch and learn AND they want GOOD things to return, so you can COUNT on what I say: 'WE will fix it ALL one day, we WONT make the same mistakes as YOU !' NO use in being 'sorry' mummy, but thank you anyway... and us kids ARE going to fix the MESS you GROWN UPS made ....ONE DAY !

The problem is she/he will grow up to become the same as the rest of us, it is the way of life...I wish this could happen, but maybe i am too pessimistic, the least we can do is pray/wish, peace, ED & Rufuz
