You all have the answers No boundaries No politicians No money No banks No religion No capitalism No guns Utopia I have no answers Without boundaries Without leaders Without money Without bankers Without god worship Without commerce Without weapons Anarchy Not a single soul would be saved Not a death more, nor a death less Let it be said once again When good men stand silent Evil fills the void I have never managed to remove all the weeds Yet my garden is full of blooming flowers The universe remains a mystery As I leave my house today with but one goal A kind gesture to a total stranger This was a poem I had with no title, or rather any title I came up I did not like. Then this title popped into my head, now of course this was inspired by a poet here, and the best way to guess who? Go to Google and type the following “Wise Dummy Poet“ and find out! The picture, yes this is part of my garden!

Got curious about the title as I know one poet here has a website with the same name. I love the progression of the ideas you have postulated in your lines, which finally ended in one true utopic ideal. A kind gesture will never go out of style. I love this! 7 and a fav. hugs!

We talk of Utopia, but deep down we know that it is only wishful thinking. It does not mean, though, that we give up on our ideals; flowers can still grow amongst weeds! // paul

I like your garden Arthur. Thanks for directing people my way. You are one of my favourite poets for many reasons the two most important are your talent and heart! I even appreciate your dark side *lol*.

Wisdom in your words. As always you write such great and inspiring words. The world cares not for our morals, it only cares to race onward with greed, lust and darkness plentiful. Super 7 on this one my friend.
