Utopia

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like.

To live in a world filled with peace and light?

I desire it so much it has become an obsession as such

Oh when will that day come?

How I wish I would not be associated with the gauntlet that is war and injustice!

I try my hardest to search for an outlet but alas! It is not there.

As I begin to despair I hear a voice somewhere.

It tells me to go on since the battle has not yet been won.

I yelled back: I do not have the strength to go on fighting this battle.

The voice said: go on prove your mettle.

Stand up against those who did you wrong.

You will win the battle before long.

I realized the voice was right.

That in the face of adversity I had to show my might.

And so I continue to fight.

Hoping to one day see a world filled with peace and light.
