Close your eyes and
imagine a world where the only hunger is for more,
where no little hands stretch for molding scraps.
Imagine a peace that is never disturbed by war,
where children are safe sitting in parents laps.
Imagine a time where the only cries are first breath,
each child born entering a world that cares they live.
Imagine this all, for I cannot bear the death.
Imagine it, for I have no more grief to give.

This is a very powerful piece.
Such a powerful message in your poem. I especially like imagining a peace that is never disturbed by war.
