My World

The world that I would like to see –
Contains the soul of poetry.

Look deep within to find the roots –
To judge a tree, just taste its fruits.

If mankind would but disapprove –
All the guns would be removed.
The children would all laugh and play –
No guns would steal their lives away.

In my world we would all be free-
Rejoicing in our unity.
Another fruit that would cast its seed –
Is when our words equal our deeds.

May man be judged by what he knows –
Let poetry stand next to prose.
With pen in hand I now shall draw -
A world that has no need for law. 

No one will experience the hunger –
Or want to change by looking younger.
No one shall feel unloved or flawed –
For every soul is part of God.
