I'm dreaming of a better world.
One without hate, disagreements, poverty, or evil.
A lion turned to a lamb,
Where whimsical wishes work wonders
And no one is ever left behind.

Where nobody has to get angry
And there aren't difficult decisions to make.
Where life is easy to take,
Like a walk in the summer sun.
Where lives are prosperous and meaningful
And not thrown away into drugs or alcohol.
Where people love each other
Just to be loving.

Where even the buildings smile at you
And encourage you to do well.
Where people can be themselves
Instead of being forced to change by society.
Where right is right and wrong is wrong
Because there is no confusion.

Where appearance and images don't affect anything-
They are just there.
Where worrying about injury is foolish
Because there's nothing to hurt you.
Where God's realm lives on and on
And heaven is the only option.

But this is an impossible dream,
So I wake up and face reality.
Can the world ever be changed for the better?
So to all of you IRL friends, this is the poem I submitted to the poetry booklet. It's in the back, so I'm not sure whether you've even read it or not, but here it is :) A little last hurrah to 8th grade! :D And yes, the first stanza was featured as one of the quotes on the back of the graduation book! :giggle:

I really like this poem and the message that it sends, so I hope you get a lot out of it! :) Thanks, hope you enjoy!
