Ideate

imagine the world, if we all did our part
                      if we lived everyday straight from the heart
             what if our children were taught, not to take but to give
                        imagine the world, in which we could live

                      imagine true love, if there were such a thing
                      think of the peace and the joy it would bring
                   could we all hold hands and learn how to forgive
                       imagine true love, if we learned how to live

                 imagine your life, if there were more that would try
               what if we could just see the truth and not hear the lie
                     could we move forward and learn how to grow
                       imagine your life, if we were all in the know

                          imagine the world, if all hope was gone
                        how would we live, how could we move on
                  would we live everyday with just hate in our hearts
                        imagine the world, if we never did our part

Love this Mark, if only we all did our part the world would be a big bright shining heart. Mark your poem reads from top down or bottom up, either way it’s superb... Belle

The best thing about an imagination is that we can put on those rose colored glasses and see the world, love, and life as they should be. It's worth the effort to make our imaginings reality. An excellent outlook, Mark.
