Celebrity Status

We know celebrities
bullied as kids
teased they were different
yet they triumphed
refused to buckle
their flame not extinguished

Every single kid has potential
though many crushed 
maimed beyond recognition
their life force sucked dry

Imagine the kind of world
we would live in
if all kids were encouraged
and their potential nurtured
we’d all be celebrities

I like to imagine it, I like envisioning it, and I dream of this, Line.

It doesn't seem too much to ask.

Heaven on Earth, indeed. There is a Buddhist belief, that in Hell, a feast is laid out, but the chopsticks are three feet long, and so, everyone starves. In Heaven, it is the same, but the people all feed ONE ANOTHER. Perhaps that is the kind of Celebrity Status we will achieve, when your wonderful Vision comes True!
