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 . . . ___________________________________ August 15, 2020 Poetry/List/I Had a Dream Copyright Protected, ID 20-1279-026-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, If I Ruled The World sponsor, Chantelle Anne Cooke Third Place
