Which world does the future hold for thee?
By Kia Simmons

Abracadabra said the magician
1-2-3
Now close your eyes.
What do you see?
I see
A world filled with color
A world filled with light
A world filled with possibilities
This world is such a magnificent sight!
Abracadabra said the magician
1-2-3
Now close your eyes.
What do you see?
I see
A world filled with despair
A world filled with doom
A world filled with chaos
This world is such a vision of gloom!
Abracadabra said the magician
1-2-3
Now close your eyes.
Which world does the future hold for thee?
