Material things and plastic people
Make up a lot of our world today
So I thought through my words I would share with you
Some things that I wanted to say

We all have very different values
No one's perfect, that's certainly true
But let's stop and think of others
Instead of just me and you

What an ideal world we'd live in
If we were just accepted for who we are
Not dictated by looks and fashion
For just being our own shining star

We all have a light inside us
Love helps us emit such a glow
So allow your light to shine brightly
And may your love continue to grow

Positive and hopeful, Sue.  Catch seems to be that we, as poets and artists, ARE living in an "idealistic world" -- one of our own making...  now, as you suggest, it's a matter of actually TRANSFERING some of those ideals of fantasy and fiction into everyday life.  Sometimes the smallest things can go the furthest distance -- smiling at someone;  donating some time or goods to a good cause;  planting a tree;  saying an honest "thank you" more often...  So many different things that can be done DAILY by us and the people we know, and though we can't change others, we can surely change ourselves and teach by example.  Good write and kudos to you for the thought and effort!
