Uniqueness Of 12.12.12 Poem by Deanna Samuels

What a significant date today, the uniqueness of 12.12.12
Never again will this date come along in our own three score and ten
Into the next century a hundred years must pass by
Before those unique numbers will turn round by and by
Our own lives will be long gone; fresh new youth will seek the future
What will they discover in that time, would it be good for all mankind
Will new science and technology bring them closer to peace and tranquility
Or plunge deeper into subjugation using advanced weapons of destruction
What new moons and planets may have been discovered, reached, inhabited
Has space travel become blasé, a standard everyday commuter fare
We here now at 12.12.12 can only wonder, only speculate, imagine
It is for future generations to path the way, laying trails to new adventure
To steer and guide those yet to come and thrive in a time beyond our ken
We at 12.12.2012 and all those gone before, moulded a world we live today
Maybe the peoples of 12.12.2112 might have learned from history past
Not blown each other up with one big blast, finally respecting one and all
Building a better, happier, peaceful caring society for all humanity at last
