A thousand centuries …. by Sadje
PROMPT 104- LONG AND SHORT OF IT:
My choice;
A THOUSAND CENTURIES
A thousand centuries have passed

How many centuries will go by
Before we become humans, kind and gracious
What will convert us into peace loving race
Instead of the civilized barbarians we are?

************************************
I chose the combo of 3, 6, 9 which was words sat, aeroplane and the.
