My dreams

My dreams, my dreams.
My dreams grow in size
Every single day.

I long to see nations unite
And conflicts cease.
I long to see trade barriers perish
And passports vanish.

I long to see democracies evolve
Into better and better forms yet
To build better societies
Than the best we have today.

I long to see Governments become truly
Of the people, for the people and by the people
And not for the rich alone

I long to see reforms the way
Candidates for political offices
Are nominated and elected.

I long to see terms of office
Become limited at every stage.
Giving more of us a chance to serve.
And I long to see standards set
For those who wish to serve

I long to see societies
Where crime and violence are out of the way
Where justice is administered in a timely way
Where everyone has enough to eat and live
Where health care and education are free for all.
Where education is not just to learn a trade
But to learn to live with health and contentment
To learn to enjoy Nature and the Arts
With concern for the fellow man
And the environment as well.

I long to see Science and Religion unite
To unravel  more and more
Of the secrets of Nature’s ways.

United as we are in Science and Technology
Varied as we are in our cultures worldwide
Divided as we are in religion, language and race
I long to see unity in diversity in every walk of our lives.

Yes
Dreams, dreams
My dreams grow in size
Every single day.
