Are Utopian Dreams Flawless

We are born into a Utopian world where everything lives and let lives
Politeness and manners exist as society never lets sieve

We learn to live with our neighbours amidst colours that nature has born
Living well into our tomorrows without the fear of being war-torn

Prejudice has never been heard whilst cussing never nears our ears
To walk our streets at whenever, over our shoulder you will never fear, fears

When we are born into a Utopian world where everything lives and let lives
The reason this can all come about, is purely because everyone gives

*        ~        *        ~        *        ~        *        ~        *

We are born from a fallopian world where reasons dictate how we live
Politeness and manner exist, sadly society has allowed them to sieve

Many learn to live with their neighbours amidst colours of nature born
Some live into their tomorrows, many enter the doors of war-torn

Prejudice appears to be worsening, cussing appears the norm
Many are scared to walk our streets as many out there have form

When we are born from the fallopian world where reasons dictate how we live
We don't enter what we hope is Utopia, many take and rarely give

Utopian dreams are flawed, becuase mankind cannot agree on even the simplest of things. Very good one for provoking thoughts on this topic. A big congratulations to you. LUv, Andrea

Congratulations on your amazing win, James! Our society loves to dictate and keep us from entering Utopia, fearing that it will lose the grip on us! The real Utopia is a world filled with love, kindness, justice and fairness....without these we'll never find it. I have loved reading your thought-provoking poem. Thanks for your continued comments and encouragement. God loves you... :). Peace and Love, Andrew.

I live in a fallopian world. Constantly judged and battered. Were I live i don't think we will ever be able to be a utopia. I am saddened to admit the truth. Love you art though ^_^
