We are everywhere

All across the globe

We cross the oceans, the sky

What is it that we search for?

To stretch the boundaries of life?

To change who we are?

Life seems to be about fitting in

But imagine, if you will
The perfect world.

What is it that you see
Every time you close your eyes?

It most likely goes along the lines of
Everyone living in peace an harmony,
Caring about the environment and and the world and all who live there

So why is that not our goal?

Think, think of the people
Cutting down the rain forests
Polluting the air
Oppressing those who dare to be different.

Then think, think of the world you see
Where we care.

Now think, think
What can you do?
Not much, you think. 

Well, that isn't true
Because you can dream.

You do it right now, and yet you take it for granted

We can all agree that we can all dream of the perfect world

So, now, tell someone else

Whisper in their ear;
What is the perfect world? 
Good. 
Now tell a friend. 

It will spread, I promise

So go ahead, humankind

Be both.
