This is an excellent free verse poem with a poignant wish. I want the same though it will never come to pass in my lifetime, a peaceful, contented, and safe world. Well written and a pleasure to read. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
Brigitte

Hi Joan. This is a good entry for your club contest. I like your vision of the world. Thank you for sharing

Here it is a bit awkward

"Are housed and clothed
And is forgotten,
Everyone shares". Do you mean "All I'd forgotten"?

An excellent hope for the future, and I much enjoy how other than the practicalities such as food, housing and health a car that might park itself isn't too much to ask for.

A fine free verse and entry to the club. Much enjoyed.

Gloria

This is an excellent poem. It expresses your hope for the future and the simplicity of our true needs. I like your free verse style and the first person form; it strengthens the message of your topic which serves your title well.

Me too. Your poem was beautifully written. It's honest and sincere and something that everyone should want. It reminds of the myth about Pandora's Box (The only future I want is the one in which hope is found). As a Christian it reminds of the Garden of Eden. But you and I both know that future will probably never exist in this realm and in our time. Although it did not rhyme it certainly has a rhythm. I really enjoyed it thank you for sharing. Well done.
