Almost Xanadu


Is wished-for peace on Earth our Xanadu?
A golden dream, mirage- our sky of blue?
An aspiration, wishful thinking to
allow us to envision this as true?

If only we could live in harmony
with peace and love, the center of our goals;
world leaders bear the cross of keeping free
all nations from disastrous wars and tolls.

This dream of peace; perhaps not in your life 
or mine- will this grand miracle ensue. 
But on, we march- endure the stress and strife,
and pray that peace on Earth someday is true.

Our Xanadu- sweet worldwide peace, fulfilled;
not just a flight of fancy, or lost hope;
but firm reality our leaders build-
in taking down our “war-or-peace” tightrope.
