Towards a Perfect World

TOWARDS A PERFECT WORLD

Many times I renegade
My heart, my mind and my whole being
Escaped from a jungle
Where I myself is a sacrifice and alone
Indifferent and at times
Out of legitimate and unknown.

But though I broke
From a cell I’m happy and free
I am holding now those tears and courage
To redeem from that trauma to probate
Towards a senile and rationale one
Hopefully to better side of the universe.

A rebel with a cause
Of libertine’s aspirations, hopes and loves
That I know I’m sure
Someone out of nowhere
Looking too for a longing mate
And together through sand dunes
Will trek to a perfected world
Where human understanding delve.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 10/6/2011 3:51:00 PM Dalila, you say you are going back home. Where are you right now then? The cottage sounds so nice. Way out in the country area? I think my dad and his wife do not get along very well (my dad is crazy. He went thru four wives already but this Filipina woman is an ex-nun and very loyal to him). They are both old now and healthy. So at least they have their health! Let me read this poem now. Login to Reply
