The World Tomorrow

I saw “The Mission” yesterday by Robert De Niro and Jeremy irons. Apart for the always saddening story of horrible things done to Indians, it includes another important theme. Rodrigo , a hunter of Indians , becomes a priest after a long and hard period of suffering from his guilty conscience.Later he decides to fight the invaders and so renounces his priesthood, while Father strongly believes that this is not the way a priest should help others. He says to Rodrigo: if might is right , then love has no place in the world ; it may be so, it may be so, but I don’t have the strength to live in a world like that.

Learning to love others like many other things is an educational process that should be taken very seriously as a necessity for the world we like to be in.


Hole in the World

There’s a hole in the world tonight.
There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow.
There’s a hole in the world tonight.
Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

They say that anger is just love disappointed.
They say that love is just a state of mind.
But all this fighting over who is anointed,
Oh, how can people be so blind?

There’s a hole in the world tonight.
There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow.
There’s a hole in the world tonight.
Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

Oh, they tell me there’s a place over yonder
Cool water running through the burning sand.
Until we learn to love one another,
We will never reach the Promised Land.

There’s a hole in the world tonight.
There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow.
There’s a hole in the world tonight.
Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
