A World Free

Will this world ever become,
A world free from violence and glum?
Important to listen, open your heart,
Let go of attachments, and make a new start.

Understanding and compassion, traits we must sow,
Nurture the soul let go of what we know,
For knowledge of the mind can cause so much pain,
And so often is used in spite and disdain.

Concrete jungle, technology abundant,
Oxygen is lacking, everything is pungent,
Smell the flowers, where have they gone?
A place so free where the sun has shone.

A violent free world I so wish for,
No conflict existing, no crushing law,
Where people trust their fellow friend,
Perhaps this could be a future trend.

Idealist perhaps, no harm in that,
Moneyless society, a witch and her cat,
No more burning, women must be heard,
They will make a difference, it’s in the written word.
