Idealism

We should put all the world's wars
Securely behind locked doors,
Throw away the key
And learn to live together, forever, peacefully.

Is this ideal
Too far beyond the real?
No, not at all dear sisters and brothers,
The toughest part comes at the start,
Where we first must learn
To be kindly considerate of all others.
