I IMAGINE

I don't necessarily imagine a utopic world, just a world that is tolerant enough to be accepting of ALL of it's different inhabitants...not wishful thinking, just hopeful!

Struggling along for all to see,

Boundless and free is how I choose to be,

But how do I get there and is anyone willing to share?

I would imagine a carefree world

With bundles of joy strewn everywhere,

And faint laughter with joyous chorus

For ALL to hear;

 

I would imagine glowing faces

With smiles abound,

And a shortage of spaces

For those with frowns;

 

I would imagine palatial homes

With dark blue infinity pools,

A screeching chatter with amicable undertones,

And an abundance of well to do, over the top, thought-provoking schools;

 

I would imagine a world of openness

That is encouraged by everyone,

With an eradication of the ignorant chauvinist

And in their place, an appreciation that is discouraged by none;

 

I would imagine the ability to start anew

When we fail to thrive,

With the opportunity to be led askew

Yet still feel accomplished and alive;

 

I imagine never ending possibilities

For ALL to explore,

With a litany of boisterous & confidant pleas

For there to be SO many more;

 

I imagine this world will never be,

I imagine the conflict and war

Seen in today's society

Is too difficult to ignore,

So, despite our need to be boundless & free,

I imagine we will ALL continue to struggle along for ALL to see...
