IN A PERFECT WORLD…

In A Perfect World…

We all want to be happy
healthy, wealthy and free
live for the moment
content just to be

Rise to a call --
of and justice for all
removing those boundaries
responding to the call

Where honor and truth
still win the day
the meaning of both
not just some cliche

Sharing trumps greed
and peace before war
caring for its people
a redefining of law

Leveling the playing field
settling the score
waking to cries
hearing to them roar

The status quo
no longer can exist
the will of the people
no longer dismissed

Various cultures --
live side by side
respecting each other
acting with pride

Spreading the wealth
because we should
protecting the weak
defending what is good

"Where the needs
of the many
outweigh the needs
of the few"

Shelter from the storm
and food safe to eat
love conquers hate
a warm place to sleep
…in a perfect world.
