In My Perfect World

In my perfect world let me ponder my thoughts And tell you what should be, a world that's not fraught To live side by side all colours and race Before we implode and forever loose face Protect all our children as they are our world's tomorrow Appease their hurt and diminish their sorrows Determine a sentence if your prepared to take life Why should you live and leave others in strife If the punishment declares that you live behind bars Innocent animals are caged they never left any scars Curtail the conglomerates who believe they are higher Ceiling their profits and limit their acquire Before they mine, deforest or drill A down payment to be paid to compensate any spill Health care to be made free for one and all For those without Dollar why should they fall To have to pay for a child knocked down by a car It's a disgrace in our society that it's come this far Schooling for all from kindergarten to graduation Even University no pupil donation If our country desires to prosper for it's future grow Our working taxes should be suffice to allow it to flow In all our cities, villages and towns Keep our kids of the streets before they become clowns For every population ratio, community centres to be built By conglomerate profits that fester their guilt Jobs to be created for many tasks to be met Like coastal corrosion and border control to be set There are many vast lands on our planet we call earth So much space to be used, so deploy it for it's worth Why can't we build pipelines bringing water to parched lands Run by the government, creating jobs with these plans Go down the green road using what nature creates Wind farms and wave energy and become her soul mate The above could all happen because we voted them in If they don't do what they say, it's political sin For my perfect world I have shared my thoughts Please enjoy my words to your table I've brought
