I picture a world with rules -
but no laws.
A world with leaders -
but no politics.
I picture a world where there is a god...
but it doesn't matter what his name is.
A world where everyone is respected -
Equally.
People work in this world -
but out of the kindness of their hearts;
and for the good of others -
not themselves.
Where everyone is motivated to do good -
not evil.
where Power has no influence.
You may say wishing for peace is silly....
i wouldn't call it wishing, though.
I call it dreaming.

Because dreams

sometimes do

come

true.

Who cares about money? We can find happiness in other places.
Who cares what faith we follow? Everyone in this world wants to do good. It doesn't matter what we call it, as long as we do it.

*PEACE*
