The Worlds from Philippe Argillier (2024)

I dream that one day we will be governed by one nation, a nation where compassion is the only law,

I dream that all of us, without exception, will move in unison in the same direction, the one where peace guides us,

I dream that vengeance will relinquish its weapons,

I dream of a world free from all judgment,

I dream that indifference will become concern,

I dream that one day an adult can take a child by the hand and tell him a beautiful story that will be his own story,

I dream of a world where wars are only distant memory of humanity,

I dream that one day, injustice will surprise us all and fall into nothingness,

I dream that a smile will become our guarantee of complicity,

I dream that each tear shed is one of shared happiness,

I dream that the suffering of some will awaken the benevolence of others,

I dream that selfishness will give way to altruism,

I dream that, one day, you and I will be able to communicate without saying a word,

I dream of a dream that also becomes your dream,

I close my eyes and listen to the life that brings us together, to finally make us dream together.
