Perfect World

Perfect world By Michelle Morris 31/10/2022 In a perfect world No one would need to feel hurt But without any pain Would we know what we're striving for? We all believe we want peace That we want our dreams to be attained But most people don't have inner peace And are confused about their aspirations Peace seems so elusive Because conflict is so rife People lose focus about what matters They get confused about wrong and right Everyone wants a hero But no one seems to step up to try We could all be heroes If we would be prepared to die But what cause is worth dying for? In a world where the sands keep shifting? There's so much hidden in the shadows That we don't know who is truly virtuous We all have our fantasies about Utopia What it would mean to live on a perfect sphere But unless we had 8 billion worlds Few people would agree on what perfection entails On all sides of the planet people have beliefs And they can sometimes seem contradictory But ultimately people are seeking familiarity A place to call home and a community Pain makes us realise we are hurting Feelings make us accept our humanity We all belong to a greater source In the Universe beyond our imagination Maybe one day when we're all enlightened When we've evolved beyond the limitations of ego and greed We'll realise how perfect we could make it If we would all work together as a team We are all united as pure energy Our souls are interconnected eternally The Universe made us in perfection We just have to realise it and make it real © Michelle Morris, 2022
