Imagine
The starving cries
Of those who will surely die
Hollow stomachs left unsatisfied
Imagine
The soldier who fights on
Remains strong
Until he passes his final breath
Safe within the embrace of death
Imagine
The kids on the street
Heads hung low in defeat
As they struggle to eat and sleep
Imagine
The slaves that work
Who just want to go bezerk
But haven't the energy after slaving in the desert
Imagine
A happier world, a better place
Where it isn't shameful to be of the human race
Where our own species isn't cast away in disgrace
Imagine
A place where freedom isn't longed for,
But had.
Imagine orphans no longer being orphans
Safe with their mum and their dad
Imagine
A world where our mistakes are erased
A world where we have a clean slate
A fresh start, served on a silver plate
Where greed and obsession never decided your fate.
Imagine a world where everyone belonged
Imagine a world where no-one had been wronged

Imagine all of this, picture this and store this memory in a safe box, where you can peek every now and then. Imagine, if you cannot change, the world without it's man-made flaws
