In a Perfect World

I live in a world where the sun never sets,
everything is tax-free, there are no cops
or crimes,
you can have anything you want,
a world where your heart
never gets old...

Many people have tried to use hemp
to reach that world,
but slowly fizzle out of that
world when their substances weaken-
they return to a world where the sun
sets, almost everything is taxed,
sirens and crimes are everywhere,
freedom is limited,
the heart gets old, foggy, and fatigued....

My world is not real;
it only exists in my mind. 
To create your own,
don't force it to be;
just be optimistic
and it will appear!
