In a Perfect World

In a Perfect World
Ramón Piñero 5/2/2003


Mothers would wrap
us up in their
warm and loving
embrace.
Fathers would be
fishing with their
kids,
instead
of ignoring
them
for work.

In a perfect world
our first love
would be our last,
there would be no need
to look any further
the grass would
never be greener on
the other side.

Our children’s lives
would be so much
simpler,
No worries about
about weird
Uncle Al,
There would be no
weird Uncle Al.

In a perfect world
their would be no need
for family counseling
only for family
picnics.

Our children
would always
keep us on a pedestal.
There would be
no need for closure
or any grief.

In a perfect world,
death would be
just another step
another reality
another way to be closer
to the creator.

In a perfect world,
music would be
the only
prescription
for anything that may
ail you.

In a perfect world
songs would be the
the balm needed to
to cure the boo-boos
skinned knees and
slighted egos.

In a perfect world

I would not have
written this.

1. but in a perfect world would we need words?
how perfect is that? (just a little tongue in cheek....)



I love that music becomes the prescription for anything that ails you -- I think that can be true now -- if we just gave it half a chance *smile*

3. From reading your work, pinerow

I think you and I have a lot of similarities in our outlooks on life. We both see the injustice of the world and how it is within the human race's power to make things right. It is well within our reach to feed, house and clothe every person on the planet. Yet we squander our time and resources trying to be the top dog.

4. Very Nice
Music is my prescription, music and a walk in the park. Without music I would have gone bonkers long ago.
