Perfection Personified
Pansies’ purple faces would wink and smile
Each girl would make just one trip down the aisle
We’d have a clear view of constellations
And find angel wings in cloud formations
Summer days would be spent beside cool brooks
All would find comfort reading the “good book”
Peace would reign; no nations would engage war
Each child would have food and not want for more
Harmony would be found within each man
All of Earth’s people would be of one clan
There’d be no tornadoes or hurricanes
Not one creature would be restrained by chains
Seaside walks lovers would take side by side
Tar balls would never wash in on the tide
People we love would live eternally
All would be blessed with immortality
Effects of pollution would be reversed
Bubbles of happiness would never burst
Good judgment and wisdom would be revered
Rewards would come to those who persevered
Living symbiotically with nature
Ma Earth would take a new nomenclature
“Universal Consciousness!” All are one
As morning rituals welcome the sun
Tree branches would spread, make way, feeling blessed
To have been chosen for a robin’s nest
The only roars heard would come from the sea
Where dolphins parade perpetually
Mankind would always live free of disease
Cherubs’ songs would be carried on the breeze
Make haste, don’t delay, such perfect days wait
Like Atlas, let's shrug, and relieve the world’s weight
