The New Eden, a Utopian Dream
The animals said, "let us breathe new life into Utopian dreams". "The law of the
jungle should be changed, to suit all of us!" After a lengthy debate, they finally decided that it should be, 'survival of the wittiest'. This of course would change everything. The fox, eager to influence the others with his clever concepts, made the suggestion that maybe he should just be the boss. The magpies response was contentious. "How could we trust you?" "Every year you steal more and more of our eggs, and that's not right!" "I think I would make a strong leader, and fair!" said the lion. "But you have been a self-imposed dictator for far too long!" said the owl. "What about me?" the horned one said. "My wisdom is legendary!" All of the animals wanted to make up their own version of a Utopia! Then, a shadow appeared in the doorway, and a man came forward. A great breath of surprise arose in the 'Hall of the Hallowed Tree'. The 'Naked Ape' of the 'Divine Mushroom' said, "quiet and hear me now!" "I would be the best one to lead this endeavor!" "Why you!" said the owl, "we don't know you, not even your name!" "I am the human being known as the King of the Crooked Crown!" he said. "For I am the perfect imperfection, to lead this imperfect union!" "As not a single one of us will escape this great house, that has no door!" The human needed to say no more, for they agreed unanimously, that he should lead their Utopian Dream, to build a new garden, a new Eden, devoid of mischievous vipers, and of their evil ways!
