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.’
