A nicely told story with good use of rhyme.
The alternate universe you describe sounds like a place I'd like to live. A life where we give and need no monet for rewards, because giving is reward enough.

Well done,

Michael

This other world always seem to be better then the one we live in and its also an escape from reality. When we read, hear and see what is happening around the world there is an inner want, a wish for this world to be better.

I like the way you have weaved this story where material things are not what blinds us but the blessings that have been bestowed upon us...nicely penned and as always happy to read :)

Another fabulous write William with great rhyming and imagery.

Wow William, Another beautiful write. I love this. I want to live in this place! LOL. Right about now especially. It would be nice to escape the world of materialistic things and people and just...be. I especially like---Life is upside on earth, we seek, for things that's passing,
Isn't that the truth? This is wonderful William

I really enjoyed this!
Love the ending Stanza.
"The materialists hand holds to lies,
It values only treasure,
Its fleeting pomp deludes the truth,
Of promised days of pleasure."
