I Dream

A WORLD WITH NO HATRED, ONLY LOVE AND PEACE
NO NEED FOR JAILS FOR THERE IS NO CRIME
DISEASES AND ILLNESSES THAT CAN ALL BE CURED
A WORLD LIKE THAT WOULD BE FINE
COMPASSION AND CONCERN FOR THOSE IN NEED
THE OFFERING OF GENUINE SUPPORT
TO FORGIVE AND BE NON-JUDGEMENTAL
THAT’S OFTEN WHAT’S REALLY SOUGHT
NO POVERTY OR PEOPLE WITH NO PLACE TO GO
NO HOMELESS NEEDING TO SLEEP ON THE STREET
A BED AND ROOF OVERHEAD FOR ALL
A PLACE SOMEWHERE SAFE TO SLEEP
THE MISUSE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL BY SOME
IT’S A MECHANISM FOR THEM TO COPE
INSTEAD OF PERSECUTION AND BELITTLEMENT
POSITIVE ENCOURAGEMENT DELIVERS WELCOMED HOPE
WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE OUR LIVES SAFE
WHERE EVERYONE WORKS AS A TEAM
DIGNITY AND SELF RESPECT
EACH NIGHT THAT’S WHAT I DREAM

Hello, Susan Ellis - my dream too - wonderful and will come true with each generation will bring it to reality - I like - "WHERE EVERYONE WORKS AS A TEAM" this is that 'KEY' for it all to happen - work on 'Space' inhabitation on earth to save our human race from extinction. I love it, Good Luck & Stay Safe too! Perry C.
