A Perfect World

The peaceful town in sight, the birds are flying by, Why can't the world be as peaceful as this? I really wonder why People can go out at night with nothing at all to fear, Nobody nasty around to get them, nobody to draw a tear, Children can walk the streets, no reason to be scared, They can talk to strangers, don't need to have a guard, No killing, no raping, no mugging, no lies Why can't the world be as peaceful as this? Nothing to despise No starvation, no poor, no poverty, no strain, Nobody hurting brothers and sisters, nobody drawing pain, Animals can live happily and freely, no fear of getting shot, They can live just like us, no fear of being got, The roads at night are clear, the cars don't make much noise, Children playing happily, they always have a good choice, No weapons, no violence, no fear or fright, People can just sleep soundly at night, We all hope for a perfect world, it's not always what comes by, but... Why can't the world be as peaceful as this? Sometimes, I wonder why. Copyright Rebecca Waring
