Worldof my dreams

I close my eyes to see-

The birds flying high

The waves swirling high

And the kids playing sci-fi

I close my eyes to hear-

The chirping of birds

The roaring sound of waves

And the twitter of children

The world is so beautiful

Full of love and happiness

Full of peace and freedom

Far away from hatred and violence

But then I open my eyes to find-

Birds no more flying

Waves no more swirling

And Children no more playing

What I find is a world-

Full of hatred and malice

In the grip of terror and cries

Forcing you to move with fright

Hence I pray the almighty

To peep into the world

And to set the things in order

Or let my eyes close forever.
