A World of My Own
A world full of hatred
fire, bombs, and destruction,
no longer exists
in my mind’s construction.
What is a world?
but a place to find home.
It’s where one can find shelter
of marble, silver, or chrome.
A haven for the poor
or a rest for the weak
Never a sorrow,
or a thought that be bleak.
United we’d stand
against the problems we’d face.
Strong, steady, tall
at our own battle pace.
A palace for each man
would grow from the ground.
Nothing can be lost,
and all would be found.
A world of my own,
all great, proud, and true.
A place for each person
including, yes…you.
