A World of Your Own
Return to a place
Where you feel most safe
Now close your eyes
And re-imagine the world outside
As if it were your very own
A place for playful banter
No plague, disease, or death to show
A kind world where people care
Unlike the rude one we have here
Torn and ruined by one’s most revolting filth
And excuses galore
Just make it a bore
Take a number, wait in line
You'll get your turn in time
To scar the earth,
You'll feel greed and hate
Maybe love, I'm sure
Followed by pain and remorse
Instead of the world we live in today
Project the serenity of your peaceful place
Make your dream become a reality
So we can all live in harmony
