Last night i had a dream

About the world we live within

T'was an almost non-distinguishable, new place

Existing no comparison of the race

All that was given out was cheers, compliments and love,

It almost resembled the place above,

Who'd ever heard of guns, killing and war?

Fights, hatred and jealousy; there were no more

Global Warming was not scorching the earth

Friendship, passion and harmony was at birth

We were all linked by the hand

Forming an invincable band;
Of one mind, one dream, in one family

As I silenced my alarm hastily

I learnt that there was only one thing that could mean

It had all been a mere dream...
