The World

I want to live by the ocean and watch the waves crash together,

I want to live by the ocean and watch the sun rise as the day begins

I want to live by the ocean and watch the sun set as the day comes to an end.

I want to live by the forrest to look at the trees

and hear all the birds chirping awa.

I want to live by the forrest to watch the leaves turn green,

to watch them fall as the seasons change.

I want to live by the mountains in a log cabin,

Sat in front of the fire with a hot chocolate in hand,

Blankets wrapped all around you while you're sat by your man.

To open the curtains and to see such a sight,

To see the snow fall and it all look pure white.

I want to live in the city and watch the world go by,

watch all the cars driving away,

going to work or simply home after a long day.

To watch all the people walk by, heads not stuck in a phone going un-noticed

I want to live in a world where I can see it all,

To see all the beauty that this place holds.

Not see the sea wridden by plastic,

Not see the beach covered in rubbish.

Not have the trees with only a stump in the ground,

With all the birds nests lying on the ground.

Not to see the snow melting away because of climate change,

The cabin being too hot because the weather is warm.

Not to see people on their phones ignoring everyone around,

Not to see people nearly getting run over because they won't pay attention

or simply smile to the little kid who gave you a smile.

I want to see a world where people do not suffer

Where people do not starve,

Who are not afraid to walk in the streets.

I want to see a world where same sex marriage is approved all over,

Where abortion is not illegal,

Where same sex couples can adopt a child.

I want to see a world where there is no concentration camps,

and children aren't being seperated from their family.

I want to see a world where people aren't driven by the idea of power,

But driven by the idea of doing right for everyone and making change for the better.

I want to see a world that may never exist

and that breaks my heart because it shouldn't be like this.
