My World

I close my eyes
and my world is so beautiful
filled with happy, loving people 
full of jobs and security
no one ever goes hungry
I want to keep my eyes closed forever,
but instead I open them
to a trashy unkept America
filled with anger, hateful people
full of unemployment and laziness
some people go hungry, because
they can't afford food
and i just want to close
my eyes again
to envision "my world"

You see the world as a reality. You see everything around you with a clean heart and a clear mind. Though not all things around are in harmony. Your soul speaks a lot about yourself! I'm privileged to meet you on this site, Miss Karen! :) Cliff Your "red sky" poem is relieving!

Thank you so much for your comment. I read your vogon poem, but I couldn't reply for some reason. It was a very good poem. I love horror movies and they draw me in with the mystery and suspense. Thanks for a great read!
