I WANT TO BELIEVE

A Poem by Kieran Mason

Am I dreaming.....

I want to believe that fighting will stop
I want to believe that peace will surface to the top
I want to believe we should love every human on earth
I want to believe people will respect each other regardless of birth

I want to believe blue skies and green fields are sacred things
I want to believe there is nothing better when a little bird sings
I want to believe that living on the streets will soon disappear
I want to believe that people should not descriminate the poor and the queer

I want to believe the streets will be free of all crime
I want to believe all these things will happen in my lifetime
