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.
