In a Perfect World
In a perfect world, no one would be depressed
hopeless, or opressed.
People could just be who they are,
without others thinking they are bizarre.
I could walk down the street without being afraid
of a man coming at me with a switchblade.
A person of color could walk in a store
without being scared of being shot dead on the floor.
Respect would be spread, and happiness too,
loving yourself would be easy to do.
People would be kind and outspoken
In a perfect world no one is heartbroken.
