Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time,
In a modern, utopian world,
There was no such thing as "hungry".
Every human being would go to sleep each night healthy and satisfied.
Once upon a time,
Every parentless child in the world would have a home,
And would be surrounded with people who love them.
The word "orphan" wouldn't be in the dictionary.
Once upon a time,
The word "racism" would be unheard of.
There would be no disputes over the color of one's skin,
and there would be no stereotypes.
Once upon a time,
There would be no beggers on the streets.
The word "poverty" wouldn't exist,
Because every human would have a livable income and a place to sleep.
Once upon a time,
Everyone would be safe inside the boarders of the country they call home.
There would be no need to flee with fear,
Therefore, a "refugee" would cease to exist.
Once upon a time,
Nobody would use the word "hate",
Or intend to harm others.
Justice would come to all, and the world would be a safe place.
