Better World

I long to live in a free world a world free of hatred and melancholy a world where one is not conscious of the next person because he might be out to hurt him I long to live in a world where my innocence will not be taken for granted A world where my politeness will not be taken for stupidity Is that world truly possible? A world where blood will not be shed Where dreams will not be distorted where lives will not be taken with uttermost brutality Is that world possible? Will i be able to leave my doors unlocked will i stop worrying for fear of unknown Is it that world truly possible? I want to live for now And hope for tomorrow I want a world of peace A world so loving like paradise A Blood free world...A world of love Is that world possible?

It's truly wonderful to know that there is still those who desire a loving paradise on earth. Thank you for your beautiful poem that illuminates with such clarity of prose the thoughts of so many who may lack the means to express it in such a profound yet gentle way. Jo
