I awoke to a serene setting
before me a picture of peace
that, among all the creatures of earth
The lion no longer sought
the meat of the lamb
The hawk and rabbit helped each other
raise each others young
The killer whale was nursing
a baby seal
The camel and the mouse
no longer had a question
of who led who
as they together crossed the river
in agreement
As I watched I began to notice
I was the only one of my kind
there were no other men
Those who were normally
at odds with each other
were nowhere to be seen
yet I felt at peace
Was I now the culmination
of all cultures
of all races
of all people
To dream
