An Ideal World
In that ideal world which I will never see,
would I find the rules revolve around me?
No I think that they are best equal for all,
with none at any other's beck and call.
For as long as there are slaves and underdogs
so will strife remain to break down those cogs
that otherwise could run a smooth society,
with everyone getting home in time for tea.
While the few continue to abuse their power,
the losses for others mount hour by hour,
imagine for a moment if all had equal rights,
would there be any cause for brutal fights?
Look around and it is clear to see that pain
is generated by those that ever plan to gain
a bigger slice of the resources that we all need,
with many wars started just to satisfy their greed.
No communism in politics was ever shown to shine,
the need for change is purely within our minds,
as force in any guise destroys without care
and that is no way for us to learn how to share....
