When I Close My Eyes...

[Jazzy]

When I Close My Eyes...

When I close my eyes
I dream of a world without preconcieved notions
Where people aren't fake
And show their true emotions

When I close my eyes
I see a paradise without sickness and pain
But in today's world
I fear my dreaming is in vain

When I close my eyes
I imagine the world coming together as one
To help one another
To get their jobs done

When I close my eyes
I envision a world without fighting and war
A world in which everyone can feel safe
Without locking the front door

When I close my eyes
This is what I see
Please tell me I'm not the only one
For I feel that this paradise dream can be done

If we could all shut our mouths
And open our hearts
Then maybe we could work together
Instead of always pushing apart

Stop pointing at one another
With an accusing finger
Don't you understand? The more you point and blame
The more the animosity will linger

When I close my eyes
I think that this is a dream we can achieve
All you have to do is simply take a moment
To close your eyes, open your heart, and believe

Okay well that was just outstanding. See...I knew I was wrong about your pessimism! Lol. That was absolutely w.out a doubt great. I can see a lot of heart in your poetry. You don't need any work, frankly I think it's perfect. G'night...and know that I believe in you and your work.
