In the Future

I want to live under a roof,

One that glistens under the sun, 

Around me a community,

One I shan't fear to run,

A feeling of security, 

One that will put my mind at ease,

It's a house with a heater, 

So that in winter my family doesn't freeze,

I want to be away from any factory, 

Or anything that produces smoke,

Makes it hard to breathe, 

Hard to focus when I'm about to choke,

I do not want money,

All those things that come with greed,

I want to live with love and family,

One that supports in time of need,

I want to walk outside and see beauty,

A landscape that I'd love to paint,

Not a nasty garbage dump,

Or something wrought with taint,

I want to live in peace,

A place where I can enjoy my life,

Not a place with evil,

Or needless and hopeless strife,

I want a good job,

One that I know where I can stay,

Work that is fair and pleasant,

And by nightfall I can call it a day,

In the Future,

I want to sit down and eat a warm meal,

I know that my dreams can be wild,

But I still hope that it can be real.
