Imagine.
Tall, majestic mountains.
Trees.
Flowers.
Clear skies.
No war.
Persecution.
Hate.
Pain.
Unnatural death.

My world.

A world we should
all
strive for.
A simpler world,
where children played
outdoors.
Where war isn't sold as a
video game.

The sun i always
shining in
my world.
Only on the days
when the sky provides the
life-giving rain
is it gray.

The cemetery has
few.
Drugs are
unheard of.
Alcohol is for
special occasions.
And tobacco is
illegal.

My world is
peaceful.
My world is
uncorrupted.
My world is
pure fantasy.

I actually thought of this while I was watching the news. The world is in such a problem state right now, and we need to all help to repair the rips and tears we've made.

A very somber ending to a great poem. Your poetry gets better every poem you write.

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.

Wow this was really good. I like the line a world without war in video games. Awesome line. I really feel the need of helping this world change. Great message! Suggestion: I challenge you to come up with more examples in your world.
