The Change I Want

If I were a superhero

Able to do things that I cannot do now

I have a very long list of things that I want to change

The world should be rid of hunger and malnutrition

Greed, jealousy, oppression, discrimination, 

Disease, poverty, crime, exploitation and injustice

All human beings to be treated equally by every other human being

All living beings respected and allowed to live their lives

All gifts of nature to be loved and protected

Every day should be welcomed by one and all

And every night, everybody should be able to sleep peacefully

There should be no political borders

No discrimination on the basis of 

Nationality, region, religion, caste, creed or gender

Love should be the only language linking everybody

People should build bridges and not walls

The planet should be the heaven

Which each of us can enjoy during our lifetime

Instead of dreaming of a heaven above

To which we may or may not go

And of which none of us know!
