Eyes Wide Shut

I am looking at the world through closed eyes. I see all the things that I wish were there. It would be a world with no widows sighs. Children would be taught to live without fear. No profit from the misery of others. Leader's first rule, "All are fed and housed". A nation's goals, the same as its mothers. A rivers run could not by dam be paused. One's right to do no harm, the rulers too. A warrior tests only other warriors. The worst fallout would be the morning dew. We move through a world without barriers. Looking at the world through closed eyes means that I can live only in my dreams
