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!
