I can dream

I can dream of a world where there is no ‘starvation.’

  But even in this dream

    there are still people who have less and people who have more.

I can dream of a world where there is ‘lasting peace.’

  But even in this dream

    there is still ‘human disagreement.’

I can dream of a world where ‘death’ is totally understood.

  But even in this dream

    there will be death.

In all my dreams of ‘a future world’ however there is but one limitation,

  I cannot dream of a world with out ‘love.’
