Some of us look at the present state of this world <br />And wish things could be different <br />We imagine the way the world should be <br />We visualize and hypothesize - it is possible <br /> <br />Imagine the whole world speaking one language <br />Then, there will be no need for translators <br />Everybody will understand each other <br />no matter where they live on planet earth <br />One language will reduce racial discrimination <br />and facilitate movements across national borders <br /> <br />Just imagine the entire world using one currency <br />The need to convert dollars into yen will vanish <br />or ask – how many euros equals one renminbi <br />or wonder how many pesos equals one rupee <br />and speculate how many rands equal one riyal <br />All the folks in foreign exchange departments <br />will do something else in the financial market <br />apart from tracking the rise and fall of <br />money markets and its influence on stock markets <br /> <br />Just imagine the super rich taking more care <br />of the poor, the needy, and the unemployed <br />Then, the homeless will disappear from our roads <br />The beggars will vanish from our streets <br />An egalitarian society will be in the making <br /> <br />Just imagine free education at all levels <br />Then, everybody will be able to develop their <br />talents and natural endowments to the maximum <br />Scholars will not be burdened with heavy <br />student loans for the rest of their lives <br />They will think of better ways to improve the <br />society rather than think how to pay back loans <br /> <br />Do you feel all the above imaginations are mere dreams? <br />Who knows tomorrow! Some dreams have turned into reality <br />in our life-time. Please stay happy and be optimistic.<br /><br />Julius Babarinsa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-imagine-2/
