I like how pretentious everyone is on this site. It seriously makes me laugh every day I come here. (See, I understand irony!)
Anyway, the poem is a thought, thought by a man who thought quite a lot. (I'm still doing it!) If he meant for it to be ironic, he didn't do a great job of getting that across. If it's just a thought, well... then it's just a thought.

Have read your readers comments and despair - do not these people understand irony?

God forbid if all of us were condemned for our inner most thoughts. This poem is no different than another thought by Stevenson:
Happy Thought by Robert Louis Stevenson
The world is so full of a number of things,
I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings.
Some of us who visit this site need to lighten up a bit. His two poems are no different than if I were to think: Wouldn’t it be nice to live without wars /and to wake up each morning without any chores/ to live forever and know not death/to do as I please without regrets.
All of us need to remember that poetry is the universe of LOVE and TRUTH and has no room for snideness.

Maybe he meant well, with a little sarcasm and hint of hope. Interesting poem. I like it-short and to the point.

What a smug vacuous poem! When RLS was writing starvation was everywhere, not least in his own country Britain.

A wonderful dream to think about! Let the dream come true one day! And it will happen!

Ok it's sweet and cute, and sort of misses the point.However if its a happy kind of utopian thought we all should aspire to..i guess there's no harm, no foul.Especially whenot makes us think about the subject.Yes and as it was written in the C19th, Mr.Stevenson is allowed his 'Christian' remark...i feel.
