My Imagination


I imagine a world where money
cannot buy freedom
I imagine a world where we only know homelessness
as being an emptiness of the heart
I imagine a world where we don't have to rely on food
coming from a country we've never seen
I imagine a world where prayer
is more valued than work
I imagine a world where we lust after peace
not sex and oil
I imagine a world where we are conditioned to hope
and not to fear
I imagine a world where preachers
are not begging for change

I imagine a world that shows forgiveness
instead of dropping bombs
I imagine a world where we think of success
as the uplifting of others
I imagine a world where children
are our school teachers
I imagine a world with open borders
and doors to our homes
I imagine a world where we are patient
for mysteries to be revealed
I imagine a world where we love
for the the sake of Love
I imagine a world where we dream and dream and dream
and where no dream is impossible
