What if we could move without having to lose

ourselves in this violent dark loop?

I wake up every morning wishing for

a world free from fears and tears.

A world without war nor pain.

A world that keeps me sane.


Why can't you imagine a world like that?


Don’t you wish we were born

in a place we don’t need to burn,

trying to survive and make it out alive?

Did He truly die on the cross

for this cruel world we call society?

Where people kill others because of different deities,

and money is worth more than human lives.

If only the earth was more quiet and filled with less riots.


Why can't you imagine a world like that?


I lay everyday, waiting and praying

for a place kept in peace.

Yet all I see are fires and fence wires,

while listening to all the cries, lies, and goodbyes.

Along with many others, I’ve tried to build hope and unity.

Maybe one day we’ll reach a point of purity and prosperity.


Why can't you imagine a world like that?


The author's comments:

This piece is a bop poem that contains many literary devices and portrays my image of society. The world around us is burning while each human on earth is trying their hardest to survive and live in peace and prosperity. The world is a scary place but there is still a chance for us to be happy in it.
