I Had a Dream
I went to bed one night and had a dream that I was given a magic wand and
could rule the world. I had the ultimate power to change all things happening
so, I pondered how I felt about that . . . here is my vision
a Covid-19 vaccine would be found and be available to every single person
there would be no wars as leaders could talk and come to understandings
no country would be ruled by a dictator or evil minded person
no person in the world would ever again suffer starvation
there would be no homeless people anywhere
no global warming and no ice melting in the Arctic
no wild storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, wild fires
no pollution in the air, forests, or waters of the world
we would have a cure for cancer and other deadly conditions
free medications for all, also dental, and eye exams and glasses
all medical surgery and recovery would be covered
it would be against the law to kill any animal wild or domestic
there would be no death penalty anywhere in the world for any crime
life in prison would mean exactly that (till death)
education would be free
there would be no racial prejudice
no police brutality
no death by drug overdose
well, it is only a dream . . .
