This poem was inspired by Langston Hughes’ I Dream a World.
I Dream a World
I dream a world where contentment
Usurps all pine and greed,
Desire for excess dissipates.
Simplicity starts at end of need
Equipping our earth to bloom again,
Resources, purity provided promotion.
Lack leaves with graspingness,
Love is the new ambition.
Sharing slays scarcity
Availing contentment to all,
Laws playing favoritism vanish.
Hatred, peril, belittlement fall,
All creation filled with gratitude.
