    "Let me show you a world where you can be free"
    - I do not like this line. I think it's drug out and seems a bit too much for the rest of the poem. I know you're going for rhyme here so I'd suggest something like:
    [Follow me and trust me
    I'll show you where to be free]
    OR
    [Follow me and trust me
    I'll show you how to be free]

    "Flowers and blue skies
    Around the globe and in front of your eyes
    No hate nor despise
    Heartfelt kisses and wondrous chimes"
    - Second and third line, I think you should remove the word(s) 'and' and then replace with a comma.

    As shown below:
    [Flowers and blue skies
    Around the globe, in front of your eyes
    No hate nor despise
    Heartfelt kisses, wondrous chimes]

    - See the huge difference in flow?

    "Perfect relationships and perfect soul mates
    Last long and without mistakes
    No broken hearts, abuses or rapes
    In this world, for love, you do whatever it takes"
    - Once again I'd suggest removing 'and' from the lines. It's overused and over appreciated. Too much of one thing is a bad thing. Last line; love it. Even though it's a bit longer, it's amazing. Good meaning behind it

    Try:
    [Perfect relationships, perfect soul mates
    Last long, without mistakes
    No broken hearts, abuses or rapes
    In this world, for love, you do whatever it takes]

    OR you could easily just take 'and' out of one of the lines (either one works exceptionally well). I guess since it was overused I seen it as a bad, bad thing. But it was just a bad thing. One time wouldn't be too bad, even though I prefer it without completely.

    "No pollution or a trashed filled pore"
    [No pollution or trash filled pores]
    - I seen it as grammatically incorrect. So, I showed you how I would see it as correct and with better flow as well.

    After the first few stanzas with overused 'and' you did an exceptional job of straying away from such a word. Kudos for that. I was worried for a moment that you were an 'and lover'. Which isn't always good, though sometimes isn't bad.

    Good poem, great meaning, I really enjoyed it. (:

    Nice poem.I liked the idea a lot. the changing rhyme scheme however did throw me off here and there. I love the examples of the perfect world that you gave it made me feel as if I was there. Also the way that you brought it all together was like icing on a cake. thank you for the read.
