I Have a Dream

I HAVE A DREAM
I wish I were a poet to write about man and the tree
I wish all people could see
That life is beautiful and happiness is free
 I wish I could make all the children of the world happy
I wish all people could embrace honesty
I wish I could help the poor and the needy
I wish there were equality
I wish all peoples would enjoy liberty
I wish man would stop cruelty
I wish springs had not dried 
I wish the gap were not so wide
I wish our planet could be greener
I wish all hearts were tender
I wish friends would be sincere
I wish drinking water would be clear
                                                            I wish we heard birds at dawn
                                                      I wish peace would be the earth’s crown
I wish parents could be more understanding
I wish children would be more obeying
I wish people knew money is a bad master
I wish they could respect each other
I wish I had power to stop wars
I wish my town were not so dirty
I wish my dreams became a reality
I we made an end to oppression and violence
I wish our kids were taught justice and tolerance

That's an amazing Dream you have and it is not going to be a reality any time soon but I believe World Peace will be achieved and all the things you mention are quotable and make sense. The world is changing but wars still are being fought, children disobey their elders and respect for authority figures has some adults afraid of children now that's scary! This planet could be a paradise if we let go of complacency, dishonesty and hate and violence and had more unity peace and love...
