Ideal world
Joneve Mc Cormick
Many have longed for a world
in which wise, courageous women
and unselfish men reign,
a civilized, lovely space
where every being is free,
finds his own place
and is understood,
a heaven on earth.
In his old age
Plato envisioned an ideal realm
resembling the one longed for above;
he said poets must be excluded, though,
because they insist on telling stories
of gods and goddesses and how those lived
before, some say, man fell to earth.
