If Only

If Only

A Poem by Dark Tower
"

Just wanted to show everybody, that just because twisted love stories fill my thoughts doesnt mean there arent happy ones in here somewhere.

"

If Only


Look at how bright that sun is

Rainbows form

The air is heavy with the laughter of kids

The flowers are covered in bees

Everywhere you look butterflies are flying free

There are no shadows anywhere

Only an abundance of chocolates and teddy bears

Towering trees bearing baskets of fruits

An assortment of magical animals assemble at their roots

Mothers gather in kitchens baking bread and sweets buns

Everywhere you look people are in the embrace of their loved ones

Long have ideas of war and poverty been forgotten

The world is so pure

Long lost are the rotten

Long deceased are the prejudices of colour

One Nation filled with nothing but love for each other.

According to the control theory in sociology, deviance (war, crime, any kind of sin) is a natural occurrence in all of, something that I agree with strongly. As unfortunate as it is, we all have a little sinner inside of us, making something like this only a fairytale, as much as we wish it could be true. Nevertheless, this is beautiful, painted such a lovely picture of what everyday life should be, if we weren't human. Thank you for the fantastic read.

Adieu!

A good dream in the poem. I served with President Clinton as president. I did many food and water missions. President Clinton had the USA on the right road. Last 12 years. Old world had lost control. When all countries respect life. Then we will know peace. I pray for the same dream as you. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
