The Way of Happiness contest In a perfect world - Nunoftferreira
A perfect world
is filled with glorious diversity:
snow-capped
heads
reversed
to thick yields
of black, brown,
blond, red
strands
braided or
combed
through
youthfulness with vibrancy
skipping amidst tulips,
sunflowers, or daisies swaying
under morning's dew kisses
in farms or fields.
Rain to rays of shine;
mountains to climb
on paths inclining to brilliant blue skies
without inhalers to grab
in breathlessness;
death
defied.
A perfect world
just shuts doors of homes
without a desire
to hide out
or lock out
poachers
threatening
to explore
unless a raccoon--
those black-eyed jokesters...
No more violence done
to misters or misses.
Police sirens silenced
forevermore...
Pets not kept
to replace friends
who may wander
out or in
without us frightful
needing to defend against
snakes or rodents
human;
no need
to fend them off
since viciousness exists
in a past
eroded;
exploded
upon earth's scene:
a pleasantness in varied greens
of high grasses not needing to be smoked
to dull anxious senses;
blowing in gentle breezes
fragrances of meadows
not inspiring allergies,
to sickness and death
with constant constricting
wheezes
to chronic diseases
due to
pollutants
which
reigned
down
from
heaven
senselessly
squeezing in greed
empty pockets.
Instead
rocket sounds of gurgles
resound from brooks
and babies born in 'want'
not scorned
or torn away;
our ears tickled
with their genuine joy
enjoyed
by parents
and family
employing
'righteousness'
divine
sprouting a tranquility
that calms everyone's
hearts and minds
promoting
a global sense
of pleasantness
that eliminates stress
and boosters an atmosphere
of 'true' peace
and ease
in this perfect world
where 'free-will'
is not just concerned
with doing as one pleases...

“‘For I well know the thoughts
that I am thinking toward you,’
declares Jehovah,
‘thoughts of peace,
and not of calamity,.
to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
