Perfect World
Close your eyes
 Think hard about what I say
 Imagine a world stripped of hate and lies
 A world filled with love every day
 
 Imagine a world without depression and suicide
 Where people were kind to each other and cared
 Without bullying and constant homicide
 People being threatened and tormented online by posts being shared
 
 Imagine a world without poverty and malnutrition
 People were happy and healthy and strong
 Not miserable and in a state of depression
 Just hoping to belong
 
 Imagine a world where the grass was always green
 And animals weren't on the verge of extinction
 Where through the water a reflection can be seen
 And being yourself wasn't a constant restriction
 
 Imagine a world where the sun always shines bright
 Where people are hand in hand
 No more darkness and all you can see is light
 No more outcasts and no one is ever banned
 
 No open your eyes, look around you
 What do you see?
 Does any of what I said seem true?
 Are we really the land of the free?
 
 Day in and day out, people dye everywhere
 From suicide, homicide, illness, malnutrition, and genocide
 It all becomes too much to bear
 But yet, it still happens, but now it's time to decide
 
 What is there that we can do?
 How do we stop this chaotic monstrosity?
 Where do we start?
 How do we get people to see?
 
 Start with yourself, make a change
 Be a friend, and lend a hand
 It may sound strange
 But it's time to take a stand
 
 I want to see the world I described
 I want to see it in front of me
 Not in my mind, and not impossible to find
 I want to see everyone be free
 
 It may seem hard to make real
 And it may seem really strange
 But I do know I am one of those people
 That wants to make a change
