Imagine

Imagine a world where no smoke exists
 And no pollution plagues the city.
Imagine a world where no bombs exist
 And there is no need for such awful things.
Imagine a world where no violence exists
 And everyone enjoys each others company.
   Imagine a beautiful place with an amazing blue sky
    And an ocean just as blue.
   Imagine a beautiful place where all seasons are wonderful
     And happiness prevails.
   Imagine a beautiful place so green
     And full of life.
       I imagine this
        And begin thinking of heaven.

Wrote this for my AP lit class when we did poetry. I really wish this was so

Jenna, I always imagine this. I want it so bad because it's the only place that can take away all the pain and the fighting and violence. This was good. Really really touched me.

You know, reading these utopian poems I always think the same thing: would you really want to be in a perfect world? True, pollution, disease, greed, lust, and violence infest our world and dominate almost everything, but do they not add to the sweet joys of life? I'm okay with going through my share of hardship, hell and high water, because one minute of joy and happiness is well worth a year of pain. That's what we as humans live for. But would you really want to have these feelings ALL the time? It's like eating ice cream on a hot day... initially, you're going to have that mentality that you can eat a truck load of ice cream, because hunger has taken over your judgment. But you only need about two scoops, and that ten minutes of bliss can negate hours spent under the blazing sun. So cn we really handle that much happiness?
