Comment from Jesse James Doty

Exceptional

This is wonderfully inspiring with plenty of examples of a beautiful world if we could only imagine it. I love it all but especially the lines about how religion not being a battleground and instead where all religions could be found.
So much to comment on yet suffice to say that you have set a lovely table for all of us to pull up a chair and eat together as one people.
I love to imagine a perfect world myself where everyone gets along and there are no more wars.
Thank you for offering this and I wish you all the best in the contest.
Jesse

Excellent

This reminds me of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream speech." I think that he would approve of your imaginings. You have great ideals and you express them eloquently. My favorite imagine has to do with respecting every aspect of people. I believe that dream would take us far. Great entry. Good luck in the contest.

I really did like it. If your imaginings came true, we would be closer to heaven on earth.

Comment from Hugh McDowell

Excellent

Very good work. Excellent word choice and phrasing. I couldn't help but think of John Lennon and his song, Imagine. I could easily see this set to the tune of that song. The first five stanzas lay out what the world could and should be. The last stanza ties it all together. Excellent.
