In my perfect little world, people greet,
they kiss and hug each time they meet.
Friends hold hands, and calm your fears;
they stick around to wipe your tears.
But in the world today, we just don’t care,
and showing love is somewhat rare.
When times are fun all friends are near,
then things get tough and most disappear.
In my perfect little world, we give and share;
we make it a point, to show we care.
We live to love, and love to live,
and find it easy to forgive.
But in the world today we strive on greed,
and crave the things we rarely need.
We step on others to get our way,
and hurt with what we do or say.
In my perfect little world, children smile,
and parents go that extra mile.
No child is ever harmed or hurt,
abused or treated just like dirt.
But in the world today most people cry,
and only pray in case they die.
We’ve given in to all that’s bad,
and then complain that life is hard.
In my perfect little world were all the same
and life is not a spiteful game.
People are loyal, honest and just,
and value the gift of friendship and trust.
But in the world today it seems,
we’ve lost all hope or goals and dreams.
Malicious acts are seen as witty,
I think it’s sad and such a pity.

I love this! Its how I wish the world my girls would be able to grow up in. Most def keep writing…your awesome. (:
its so strange that your poem expresses just how i have been feeling lately, even though its sad to state the facts of reality, your poem is beautiful. Its like people bitter sweet.
its so strange that your poem expresses just how i have been feeling lately, even though its sad to state the facts of reality, your poem is truely beautiful. Your a great poet
i want to live in this world too. its so refeshing to hear that other people do feel this way. maybe we all do deep down, but fear gets in the way. this poem reduced me to tears in seconds. partly because its sad that people are this way, but also it makes me happy to think there are people like u in the world. sending you love and hugs xxxx
i loooooooooooooooove the poem. it is awesome.
This is quite thought provoking. Who wouldn’t love a perfect world like the world you idealise about? In every verse, you stated an actual fact. It was very open of you to put the words as you have done, you sound so unselfish. I only wish our world was as perfect as you would like it to be. The world we live in really is a beautiful place, if only people would let it be!
It doesn’t cost anything to be nice does it? True generosity, is having done something really nice or worthwhile, for somebody else, even a total stranger. But never ever, letting them know it was you who did it!
i really like thi spoem im going to use it in my poetry reading in class i hope u dont mind
lovely poem for love once
Great insight! This is true of the way it was when I was a child. Neighbor helping neighbor. Today nobody wants to get involved and it seems asthough our values are turned upside down. Keep up the good work!

This is very beautiful, as well as true. Keep on writting, you are very good.

I love this,
I read this every day and I never get tierd of it!
AMAZING.
Yur poem was amazing I really enjoyed reading it . it is so true that it is scary to think that we, people have let this happen You must have a very caring heart
I was speechless when I read this poem. It is amazing and beautiful and so deep. I also think about the world as it is now and how it ought to be. Isn’t it crazy how this world is full of hatred, greed, money, materialism, manevolence, etc. This world needs a change.
that is soo true, it’s sad!
truly a masterpeice . Its so simple and subtle and at the same time it genuinly describes the pristine and most ravishing human (forgotten, shamefully) virtues with complete serenity.
pls keep writing such awsome poetry…
