     Sweet, summer Saturday afternoon
Eight-year old legs, pumping, body flying
Racing from the five-and-dime
Change clutched in sweaty hand
To the magic palace of my youth



     The wonders fifty cents will buy
Two really cool movies
Cartoons
Previews
Popcorn
Candy
The company of my schoolmates
Embarking on a shared adventure, every weeekend
With monsters,  and aliens,
Robots, and cowboys
Army guys, and spaceships
Truly, it was a Dreamland.
If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.
