A Perfect World (edited)

by Lyssi Lori   Sep 8, 2025


A perfect world!
Wouldn't it be nice?
A place where hearts break once--
... Not twice.
No heartbreak at all! Could you imagine!?
No war.
No hate.
No suffering, no famine.
The sky would be as clear as the ocean--
Blue
The former unattainable reach of World Peace would be all we knew
Pollution would be a legend
told around the fire.
Pinocchio wouldn't exist,
there'd be no such thing as liars.
There'd be empty jail cells,
no need to fight.
Bright darkness,
fearless cowards,
and warm winter nights.
Everyone would be equal.
Everything would be fair.
No surprises,
no adventures,
nothing new to share.
No princesses locked in towers in a far away land.
Life would be simple,
Life would be bland.
No unanswered questions,
No mysteries to uncover,
We'd know all things,
Nothing new to discover.
A life full of love,
A world without hate.
It's a perfect world!
Shouldn't it be great?
Everyone would find true love, first try,
And everyone would reach the Pearly Gates,
if they ever died.

Note: I wrote the original in a poetry class in high school. Made some minor edits since it has been a few years.
