Easter Language

 How do we see ourselves, our neighbors, and the future of our world?  Do we speak the language of despair and complaint as in the following statement?

“Planet Earth’s on a path of obliteration.

And I refuse to believe that

we can help humankind survive self-destruction.

I realize this may be a shock, but

our diverse and inclusive global society can live in harmony

is a lie.  The reality is that

“Humans are incapable of caring for each other & planet Earth”

within three decades, global warming will destroy our planet.

I do not concede, that 

planet Earth and civilization can be saved.

in the future,

ongoing senseless and brutal world wars will be inevitable.

No longer can it be said, that

you and I will find a way to reach for the stars and beyond.

It will be evident, that

humans are selfish, indifferent and greedy.

It is foolish to presume, that

Or do we see ourselves, our neighbors, and the future of our world by  reading the above statement backwards?  Do we speak the language of an Easter people—the language of faith and hope?
