A Better Future

A Poem by Sam Freeland

for those who can

Our plans are revealed

in the way we react

What we see in our future

we will turn into fact

It is seen in all winners

as well as losers too

Mind games are the start

of what we plan to do

If our game is to be evil

it is not an accident

Its a case where the planning

was a premeditated event

These acts are treated

as a more serious crime

They should certainly receive

a much heavier fine

Otherwise our good acts

will result in praise

Giving Samaritan behavior

respect and honor for days

Thinking how to be kind

is the way we should begin

It is the best way for us

to avoid the wages of sin

We have all observed

the events of the past

Planning well for the future

our good future will last

Those with happier minds

will certainly understand

We can look forward with hope

as we "Strike Up the Band"
