Somewhat random thoughts put to words

I give you the future.  Now you will see

the goodness of people and evil, too.

Behold life, which is so precious to Me,

and the pain you give, so precious to you.

Father, You know this is torture to me;

Mother, You know You can help this to cease!

To look in our hearts and what is to be...

we pine for assistance and for release.

The future is here, but you have the choice

to alter it, make it better for all -

the best of you can raise a voice

and perhaps prevent a horrible fall.

'Twere my choice, there would not be so much strife,

but all the good lost should cost me my life.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A little dialogue-type thingamabob.  The only way to tell which speaker is which is by looking at the personal pronouns.  The most random bit: i just wrote this thing after watching The Godfather, Part III.  Sheesh.
