For one brief moment
Can we put aside
Our heritage of violence
And master our animal nature?
For one brief moment
Can we supress our need
To kill and to hate
And to steal from the Earth?
For one brief moment
Can we remember
That we walk on two feet
And haved touched the moon?
For one brief moment
Can we love with our minds,
Reach out with out hearts,
Remember that we have a soul?

A kinda soul some have
they reach to our hearts
with axes
This all happened is
distant Machu Pitsu.
But is all a history now!
Echos of the past
Could history repeat itself
Do Conqustadores still exist.
These days of peace
let them be days of peace.

All I can say is that the Bible states that man was created in the image of God. The Hebrew word "image" can also be translated "attributes." If there is God (and I firmly believe there is) anything is possible. Let's continue to have hope--and faith--that the "brief moment"--and maybe more--will come

The "Universal" answer is, "We better."
Certainly we should, and hopefully the global consciousness will GET IT, while our species still exists.
"After the Flames have died,
in smoldering ash will we reside?
Will the rains that follow
wash us clean
or leave us in scars
in a nightmarish dream?"
Kudos to you, an excellent piece, hopefully not a projection.
