Imagine

Imagine A world not like ours where fathers accepted sons a village welcomed the next village instead of gods, we worshiped goodness as kindness, empathy, compassion, understanding and giving disputes settled over feasts grapes to wine instead of bullets to war where everyone listened to the heart of the closest child every child a gem Imagine a world where no wolf dressed as a sheep where spite was a soft drink and not the blackness of the soul Money is not the root of all evil it only exposes those who had evil in them power the same evil is evil and the veil of Godliness fools no one even a rabbit knows better never be silent speak up to it all

A heart filled verse is very strong emotions. We all asked those questions that really are never answered. Still life goes on. Why, can a parent love their child, a child that is born from two people in love. Not unless it was against someone’s will. But I somewhat know the feeling.
