Poem: I dream of a better world

Wrote this for a writing contest in school based on the theme - World Peace and Harmony.

I dream of a better world

.We live in a world
.where wars are fought
.to bring about peace

.We live in a world where
.criminals are not caught
.but innocents are seized

.We live in a world where
.One man's pleasure
.is another man's pain

.We live in a world where
.One man's lost treasure
.might be another man's gain

.But I dream of a better world

.A world where all
.walk hand in hand,
.saying, "Divided we fall,
.United we stand"

.A world that heeds
.to righteous deeds
.and answers the call
.when its time to lead

.A world where people
.are bound by love
.and respects the laws
.of the One Above

.In the kind of world I dream,
.every child knows how to beam
.and knows not what is agony,
.but lives in peace and harmony.

By Me :)
