Dreaming of Utopia

i yearn for a world devoid of struggle, where peoples are one, respectful of other people. where bonds transcend gender, colors, beliefs, and creeds. a world devoid of wants, and people live simply with their needs. i would love to walk along the streets, unhindered by fear. tread along the pathways safely, something, i long so dear. let the place i live upon, be absent of violence, crimes, and hate. across divides, let the peoples be united, living as one blissful state. if only in this world, no one lives in hunger. everybody learns to share their resources, no matter how meager. let no single child be abandoned, uncared and unwanted. let the whole world be one big village; foster everyone, and care be warranted. but no, this world, i realized, is only just a dream; with all the chaos, hopeless as it may seem. people fighting, nations warring, where can peace reside? when will this ocean of blood and tears subside? when will this world be healed from strife? when will the people stop sending others to the after-life? when will this world be truly free? all those questions i’m asking, i hope, it’s not just me?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
