My Dream

my universe would be heading
toward the infinite and not the finite -- 
no entropy of matter
nor degradation of order.

life would be filled
with random acts of kindness
not selfish acts of malice --
a perpetual motion machine of altruism.

hate would become like the dodo, 
and love would be for all and worn by all --
an ageless style.

the environment would be esteemed
and maintained --
a precious stone.

disease and sickness 
would be cured 
and good health would be the standard.

earth, air, water and fire
are concrete; and my dream
is idealistic. however,  it's the ideas
that form before the reality,
so I'll dream on....
