Notes About The Poem

In a Perfect World

In a perfect world, we belong to the same race, the human race.
Everyone tries to make a difference in life to improve themselves.
No one chooses a lifestyle of laziness at the expense of others.

In a perfect world, there is no fear of speaking out about what one believes.
People use their minds without prejudice, trying to figure out things in life.
Just because someone believes in something does not make them right.

In a perfect world, everyone has the right to be who they were meant to be.
There are no oppressor classes trying to mold regular people.
There is freedom of choice when it does not infringe on the rights of others.

In a perfect world, we remember that honor and integrity are important.
The journey in life matters so the end does not justify a means to an end.
People in life truly love and embrace one another for just who they are.

These are the ideal foundations on which to build the perfect world, Edward! Thomas More spoke of similar ideals, but eventually he finished a victim to cracks in these same foundations! // paul
