If I Could Have My Own Way

The world does be a mysterious place to live in Already hampered with its yet to be unlocked secrets It does cause us all to enjoy while, at the same time, having us basked in sin If I could change some things about it, pray, life would be as sweet as a ballet See, humans would need to become pure No more shall there be wars to endure Humans shall be tolerant of one another Even if differences of all sorts, around us all, do hover Religions would need to be more unifying Indeed, Holy Books, of the way to Heaven do teach But then, humans, of hatred and mockery for one another do be screeching As if, of peace and tolerance, their religions do not preach Earth has had enough of its fill of pollution Machines and gadgets I would bring forward, Having the preservation of nature as their main mission No more would trash and dirt fill the nooks and crooks of the world Pollution does cause the death of life Nature does become impure to our health So much that Earth does feel like she is going on her way to her own death Pray, a new world it shall be, one with air so fresh If I could change more about the world, Why, I would make sure death and disease do be in-existent Pray, death does be so bold, it does cause us all to be so sad Disease and the loss of our loved ones do cause us all to fall to our own detriment Why, of course, humans and animals would have eternity to live But at the same time, they would need to be made of good feelings No more evil, no more sin, no more harms No more disturbed thoughts, no more wants of abuse My world, if I could have my way, would be free from poverty Each and everyone of us would have his own share of gold So that content shall be his stomach and that of his family Content shall also be his heart, indeed, content shall be his little world Why, does the world be a place where we, fallen souls, come to grieve Does it be a place where our souls are to be always ringing with sorrowful alarm Why, I do claim not to have, at my disposal, the one magic finger But I shall try my best, to make of my world, a place, one so better! This rhyme does be my prayer May the Heavens bestow upon me, their power Pray, if I could have my way, the world shall be the solace of all of life Indeed, such a vision does be in my heart, the strength of my own faith! 10 April 2016

AG....all of what you describe does appear here, in Minnesota...but, one can escape to such pure places in our Northern Forests, gather berries & Rose Hips in late summer, sit by a hidden waterful near Lake Superior & communicate with Ravens by a brook, this is why I shall never move...jimbo
