What's wrong with a world
Where free movement is free
Where the soil all over is
Neither for you nor for me
Where we can move house
To another island altogether
And not worry about
How to travel wherever
Is it not fair to say
The world belongs to all
Not only just
Those who want it to fall
They destroy our humanity
As they prohibit our freedom
Passport office insanity
The world is far from Eden
There are some wonderful ideals and sentiments stated here. It would be great I agree, but sadly not likely to happen
Nice poem

a strong sense of Lennon hangs over your poem ALM and like his song we should all strive for higher goals of equality. Just how possible and achievable that is I couldn't say but I do admire the spirit of this piece. Thanks for posting. Colin.

It's a lovely thought Mousey, but unfortunately tens of millions from the third world want to come to a handful of countries of the developed world - which would swamp us to the point that this country and others would soon become very unattractive places to live.

Life has never been fair - anywhere and at any time.
We have to make the best of what we have - and enjoy the
hospitality and habits of others when they are offered.
Equality is not on the table - only equality of opportunity.
And even that requires regulation in its most obvious
sense. Great to have the chance to board a plane but
hardly fun if the world and its dog are also trying to board
it. In short, reality demands regulation whatever the
scenario, if the world is to remain an appealing, let alone
an endurable, place to be.
Bon voyage in life!
