Equalitoria

To a place with no money I'm takin' a hike Where you work for your food And you build what you like No permit is needed For the castle we'd build No laws must be heeded For the deer that we'd kill A town marketplace Where citizens share And the stock market crashes But nobody cares And the smell of fresh food Is rich in the air Cause the barber must eat For cutting our hair And the hunters are tired From catching the game And the culligan man Is catching the rain And the doctors and lawyers They never complain They sold their Mercedes' But they're happy they came The police are not crooked Just fat as can be Not a whole lot to do When everything's free Not a single hard worker Is wanting to leave There's just one blasted problem It's only a dream

Sylvia was too dense to realize you were describing a utopia-type society that exists only in a dream. This is a decent poem.

This is BY FAR the single most Cool as Shitake Poem I have read in ages! SOunds better than DENMARK! I really Digg some of the ideals I have researched lately during this time of shift. I thoroughly agree with yanking the plug on the Fed.-The private crooked company who operates via offshore banks and owns the US and our Bilderberg President. You got me all fired up! Zeitgeist has some nice ideas, but this new group of "ANONYMOUS" have been talking about is OUT of this WORLD! 7rate & a Fave

Your dream should become a reality Kyle for it is perfection. Unfortunately imperfect man is not capable of bringing it to pass. But your verse gives us the possiblity!

Kyle, I dream of this place too. I can tell you where they almost have it.It's in Denmark! They are reported to be the happiest people alive. Their needs such as health and child care and old age living are not to be worried about. They can take any job they like because everyone ends up pretty much with the same pay after the demands of society are met. I am not cut out for living my capitalistic life style.I would be very happy in Denmark!
