Close your eyes
and envision living
in perfect harmony
with nature and animal.
All of us at peace
with one another
being friends not enemies.
But when you open your eyes
you see war-torn nations,
poverty-stricken societies,
disease-infected countries.
Where is the love here?
Are we not one race?
Then why do we compete
as if we are opponents?
How much we could
accomplish if we
helped each other
instead of finding faults.
What a lovely dream.
One that may never come to be.
But I won’t stop dreaming.
