I Dream Of Utopia
Humanity
No longer a child
Found the beauty
In existence
Where we breath
Pure perfection
In the love of animals
And ourselves
Living in harmony
On a healed planet
That now flourishes
Like flowers always did
Finally understanding
That technology ambition
Never need to ruin
But build an eternal paradise
No longer a child
Found the beauty
In existence
Where we breath
Pure perfection
In the love of animals
And ourselves
Living in harmony
On a healed planet
That now flourishes
Like flowers always did
Finally understanding
That technology ambition
Never need to ruin
But build an eternal paradise

Brave New World
Here’s to the dreamers and the mouth of babes,
Who will surely one day inherit the earth,
May our sorrow today be their hope tomorrow,
Giving way to enlightenment and rebirth.
Here’s to those who in our current times,
Are fighting, striving and pushing for change,
So that it brings a better place for our offspring,
Offering peace to our spirits in exchange.
Here’s to the philosophers and the thinkers,
To the teacher who helps shape a young mind,
They’ll pay homage for passing down knowledge,
With the commitment that it will be shared in kind.
Here’s to those who are caring for the sick,
Looking for a cure and to help them heal,
And to those who volunteer their time,
Who feed the hungry one more meal.
Here’s to the farmers and workers in the fields,
Here’s to stargazers looking up at the night sky,
Here’s to star-crossed lovers longing for the day,
May their dreams come closer when they sigh.
If education is to be the fundamental goal,
Maybe then our true potential can be achieved,
With love, sympathy and understanding,
The wisdom of the ages will be received.
It won’t be an easy road and it’s not perfect,
But with faith and patience it can be unfurled,
Maybe then our children will be free and happy,
Here’s to you: Dreamers of a Brave New World.

Micawberish Bathetic Twaddle
Knee deep and waist-ing away in romantic slush
tell me, how much of this is to much mush?!!
In an idyllic world of Eden vegetarians
how many meat eaters will it take to rip apart
the fluffy feelings of never-ending lust
and desire for hearts and pink cotton candy?!
ONE PERSON’S _utopia_ IS ONLY ONE VIEW
Bacon!! Yeah, Baby!! Fat sliced fucking BACON!
a carnivore’s drooling delight salivating towards
Utopia for taste buds, budding to ecstacy
fried to the very soul of the Heterotroph!
There IS NO utopia!
There is only a perfect
perfected Eden within
each of us when we
in perfect timing
of which time no one has or knows
We seek and in seeing clearly
are
awakened to an Eden of
our own creation.

utopia concealed
i can only imagine
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first
earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. Rev. 21:1 (KJV)
the lion and the lamb,
playmates.
the best of who i am,
no gates
to separate the earth
from heav’n.
no mothers in childbirth
pain riv’n.
i can only imagine
the glory that will be
when time loses its limits
for all eternity
no thorns upon the rose
that blooms.
no sweat upon the brows.
no tombs
of loved ones dead and gone.
no tears
to trickle from my eyes.
no fears.
i can only imagine
the glory that will be
when time loses its limits
for all eternity.
the devil will be dead
and death
will bring no further dread,
thus saith
the High and Mighty One,
Who is
The God Who is to come
With bliss.
i can only imagine
the glory that will be
when time loses its limits
for all eternity.
there will be no more night;
this place
will have no need of light.
His face
Will pale the brightest day
And He
Will take all pain away
for free.
i can only imagine
the glory that will be
when time loses its limits
for all eternity.
utopia concealed
is mine,
for heaven’s thus revealed.
the blind
will never see the world
made new,
though plainly it unfolds,
so true.
i can only imagine
the glory that will be
when time loses its limits
for all eternity.

Champions
"The great universal family of men is a utopia worthy of the most mediocre logic." --Comte de Lautreamont
Before Prometheus bequeathed
The gift of fire on all mankind
And Zeus’s eagle came to feast
Upon our champion, confined—
The gods of old would torment us
Until the spark of science, gained;
The crime of old Prometheus?
All mankind’s future he ordained!
He brought us science, to command
Our own utopia, to build
Then, he was pardoned by a man
And Zeus’s will went unfulfilled!
Olympus glares in helpless rage
While mankind reaps the knowledge won
With which we built this modern age
Now free to live and free to love
Before Prometheus bequeathed
The gift of fire on all mankind
And Zeus’s eagle came to feast
Upon our champion, confined—
The gods of old would torment us
Until the spark of science, gained;
The crime of old Prometheus?
All mankind’s future he ordained!
He brought us science, to command
Our own utopia, to build
Then, he was pardoned by a man
And Zeus’s will went unfulfilled!
Olympus glares in helpless rage
While mankind reaps the knowledge won
With which we built this modern age
Now free to live and free to love

AMAZING!
Isn’t it amazing how the dog stands still
whilst the tail is wagging it?
isn’t it amazing how the population stands still
whilst the propaganda machine is shagging it?
and isn’t it amazing how stillness gives birth to Spirit
whilst illegal laws are gagging it?
Atlantis
In the womb of the world,
Of water and stone this world,
Where every step on flat ground,
Is in the water, all around.
Dark, and comforting, this world,
That before us, lies unfurled.
The world called...Atlantis.
Where spoken is the mother tounge that began it all,
Before the rise and fall,
Of the civilizations,
And their fortifications.
Crops grow with no real sky,
But a shield, all around, up high.
In the world called Atlantis.
The only lights ever seen, or needed,
The gentile glow of the "sky", the fireflies, and the crystals that keep us alive and protected.
Around the city,
Jungles of density,
And deeper water,
Though familiar, not a stranger.
In this world,
Safe from the outside world,
Lush life does abound,
With only the sound,
Of nature, and the kindnesses of others,
The world of our fathers and our mothers,
Our grandfathers and our grandmothers.
Of the world called Atlantis.
Though we did fall,
Now more than ever, we stand tall,
For we did not all die that day,
And to this day,
We thrive...learn, plant, harvest, teach, heal,
Document, help, protect, and never kill or steal.
With hearts, minds, and stomachs full,
Atlantis is the world's unseen jewel,
All are free,
To be,
What they wish to be,
And hope and security do lie,
In the world we call, Atlantis.
Of water and stone this world,
Where every step on flat ground,
Is in the water, all around.
Dark, and comforting, this world,
That before us, lies unfurled.

And hope and security do lie,
In the world we call, Atlantis.

The Eternal Dream
A world without men or women,
Just people, sexless.
Neither predator nor prey,
Just friends, hateless.
Neither politicians nor congress,
Elite or Masses,
Educated or illeterate,
Poor or rich.
Everyone equal, classless...
Dreams of eternal peace,
Neither war nor disease.
No need for doctors or technolgy,
Or school and it's ideology.
But everyday I am reminded that
Between me and my dreams the gap is...
Eternity.
Just people, sexless.
Neither predator nor prey,
Just friends, hateless.
Neither politicians nor congress,
Elite or Masses,
Educated or illeterate,
Poor or rich.
Everyone equal, classless...
Dreams of eternal peace,
Neither war nor disease.
No need for doctors or technolgy,
Or school and it's ideology.
But everyday I am reminded that
Between me and my dreams the gap is...
Eternity.

Utopian Gaza
The futurity of our visions!
Now a twinkling in minds,
may one day be a supernova!
So bright, we’ll comfort our eyes
with the shades of humanity!
So warm, we’ll quench our longing thirst.
Dreamlands thrive not only in heavenly realms!
Paradise begotten - by such dreams!
I dare not say it isn’t so!
Into the neverlands
our hopes shall hold hands.
Oh, how green the metropolis!
‘The Land’ - That once was home to barefooted children with vicious faces,
now eat bountiful grapes with flushed, plump cheeks!
There was a time when homes had black windows!
Now a twinkling in minds,
may one day be a supernova!
So bright, we’ll comfort our eyes
with the shades of humanity!
So warm, we’ll quench our longing thirst.
Dreamlands thrive not only in heavenly realms!
Paradise begotten - by such dreams!
I dare not say it isn’t so!
Into the neverlands
our hopes shall hold hands.
Oh, how green the metropolis!
‘The Land’ - That once was home to barefooted children with vicious faces,
now eat bountiful grapes with flushed, plump cheeks!
There was a time when homes had black windows!
