Utopian Land

My poetry takes me to Utopian land,
  Where love and peace perfectly blend.
    Humanity is the only religion known
      Arrows are rusted, bows can’t bend.

Everyone is kind with beautiful heart,
  Equality and justice for all, I wonder.
    A perfect place where women are safe,
      And it rains, without any thunder.

I imagine people living their dreams, 
  Society woven from threads of trust.
    Here life is perfect, devils are dead,
      Joy prevails, worries crushed to dust.

But, when I encounter the real world,
  My poetic soap bubble tends to burst.
    And I am drawn out of Utopian land,
      Now I find blood quenching the thirst.

Hi Meenakshi and congratulations. This is very good. I went to a "Zuma Must Fall" demonstration yesterday. Your poem is very fitting for the situation here. You cannot enter it for my South Africa Contest, but I am "expecting" an entry from you. Many wishes, Kai
