All I have to do is dream;
Quite a new world I see
Which is free of pain and woes
But full of joy and glee.
Rockets kill not in this world,
Nor human bombs explode.
Armies invade not nations,
Nor a mountain abode.
In this world religions are
For love and not for fight.
One country does not impose
Its will through use of might.
None speaks a lie in this world
To kill a President,
Quoting the WMD,
Which are non-existent.
In my dream world dogs are not
Let loose on prisoners.
Naked men are not jeered at
By young female soldiers.
