If the world were perfect, <br />We’d all have no eyes, <br />So we couldn’t judge people, <br />By skin color or size. <br /> <br />If we were all blind, <br />We wouldn’t make fun, <br />Of the kid who wears braces, <br />Or limps when he runs. <br /> <br />If the world were perfect, <br />You could have purple hair, <br />Wear clothes that don’t match, <br />And no one would stare. <br /> <br />All would be equal, <br />And we would all care, <br />About one another, <br />And all would be fair. <br /> <br />No such thing as enemies, <br />We would always play nice, <br />No bombings or wars, <br />No lives sacrificed. <br /> <br />Little ones would be healthy, <br />No cancer to bear, <br />No cystic fibrosis, <br />Each one would be spared. <br /> <br />Not even one mommy, <br />Would get drunk or high, <br />They would cuddle their babies, <br />And sing lullabies. <br /> <br />No daddy or uncle, <br />No man in the world, <br />Would ever take pleasure, <br />In touching young girls. <br /> <br />You could be gay, <br /> be bi or be straight, <br />And you’d all be accepted, <br />No person we’d hate. <br /> <br />Every one would be warm, <br />And have good food to eat, <br />And no family would ever, <br />Live life on the street. <br /> <br />But are world isn’t like that, <br />In fact it’s anything but, <br />With murders hate and anger, <br />And God only knows what. <br /> <br />It’s far from perfect, <br />This life that we know, <br />But imagine the greatness, <br />If such things could be so. <br /> <br />It’s terribly sad, <br />And I hate to say, <br />That we may never, <br />Witness that day.<br /><br />Ashley Seymour<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-perfect-world-5/
