Imagine a world
where you can’t bring anything
you ever owned
not one valued possession
not a single penny you can toss
Imagine a world
where titles and status mean nothing
where authority belongs not to you
Imagine a world
where no man stands taller than another
and where beauty comes not only from you
Imagine a world where you can’t hide anything
nor busy yourself with things that make you forget
just how empty you are within
how angry
how insecure
or how afraid
Imagine such a world
And then try to imagine once more
Imagine a world where no one starves
nor longs for shelter
where no one gets sick
and no one ever grows old
Imagine no pain
and no death ever
that would make you weep
a world where you need not
depart from home
from the people you love the most
imagine never having to be alone
Imagine a world
where you are accepted and understood
for who you really are
Imagine you are loved
like you have never been loved before
Imagine such a world
and then open up your eyes
What do you see?
What is it that you truly desire to do?

What a beautiful world. I know I am soon destined to enter such a world. But when I open my eyes in this purely physical world, I see so much I would like to at least try and change.
Thank you for sharing this.
