On Equal Ground

With a wave of His magic wand,
this journey begins.
A war-less world, a place where
Mankind walks on equal ground.

We'll start by looking over
crystal clears oceans.
Sun-rays of hope reflect
peace that fills the land.

Streets are paved with golden memories,
innocence lives as children
play on steps of hope, built on faith.
Not on mans fears.

Waking to birds singing,
songs of strength.
A morning bath in forgiveness,
cleanses the soul.

Gratitude fills the air,
hunger does not exist.
An afternoon shower,
brings nourishment needed to dream.

While drowning out all anger, envy,
and greed that feeds the need for power.
No wars are fought,
Mankind walks on equal ground.

Now with a wave of our magic wand,
this journey sadly ends.
Where fear takes our faith,
and anger fills our hearts.

Built on resentments,
children play in rubble,
Waking to gun fire reflects,
war that fills the land.


Author notes

Prompt: a tale of another world ~~~ a magical world

Okay so I tried not good on the magical, pixie, & fairies and all that but a world where Mankind walks on equal ground would be magical and another world for sure so sad we'll probably never see it

    Excellent write

    A strong wish for a world without war and hunger greed and inequality
    Exceedingly well written I agree with everything in it except the magic
    wand bit. In my poems "The Humanoids" part one and two I try to show
    how different things could be in a world without the private monopoly
    of the means of production of wealth. Best Wishes...George

    Magical is open to interpretation. And a world where there was no hunger, war or greed? Well that seems like magic to me.

    A beautiful open interpretation of life

    Thank you for entering our bandit contest and good luck
