SCHISMS

by julie-grenness

SCHISMS. I woke up with Lennon on my brain, I read the news in the usual way, Turbulence and schisms over isms, Society's deep divisive chasms, Why are we all such lemmings? Bigotry and phobias ever forming-- Imagine a world of informal religions, Only peace and tolerance in our visions, For churches, we revere the universe, Star trekking our young deserve, Imagine our brave new Planet Earth, In a century's time, what would it be worth? All children learning together beautifully, None taught hatred or hostility, Imagine no schisms over isms today, I woke up with Lennon on my brain.
