2022
The world we currently live in has become a frightening one,
So much anger and terror in the air.
For everyone, war, strife, and crime means nothing yet everything.
It just delivers sadness, grief, and remorse.
It is alarming enough that the world must emphasise that lives
and the destiny of our planet matters.
I envision a future where everyone is treated the same.
I envision a world where neither humans nor animals are harmed.
I envision a world where we don't pollute God’s Earth.
I envision a future where we are free to be ourselves,
Regardless of how we may appear. A world that is fair, selfless, and equal,
Filled with caring & peaceful individuals who care about the Earth
A world where people look out for each other no matter the risk.
Where people love each other for who they are
Where people desire to change the world for good.
That’s what I hope for.
