Poem
In A Perfect World There once was a perfect world The future will yield yet another world of perfection We shall not presently bother with the former perfect world, Nor even shall we engage ourselves with a future one Moreover, in a perfect world, War industries have ceased; farming machinery now blossoms I see no wars but peace abounding; I see only love and no hate, food and provisions for all; clean air, clear water; no poverty No earthquakes, firestorms, and no tragedies Everyone of earth’s 6 billion plus sleeps in peace and eats contentedly I see rain in due season; no destructive ocean storms for any reason There is no United Nation, nuclear proliferation or Mutually Assured Destruction; no bombs, guns, and tanks I see no fighting over ranks, but giving of thanks Jails and prisons are obsolete, there’s no criminal to seek The evil hearts and the proud heads have disappeared; and the world has opened its arms for the pure and meek Travel and touring are vastly popular, and planes never crash There’s no CIA or covert operations anywhere; no terrorism blasts There’s no more pain; no sicknesses or outbreaks killing masses It’s a world of beasts and birds; one of insects and fish They roam the air, the sea, the vast jungles and wilderness None are wild nor eat each other, but feast the land’s bounty 02112016PS Contest, In A Perfect World
