Utopia
Written: March 15 2024 For Constance La France Contest
Quote: "Out of generous dreams come beneficial realities. Utopia is the principle of all progress, and the essay into a better future". By— Anatole France
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your drumbeats our pulse—it is our life's ritual,
Nirvana, Utopia, high-rises aim to be habitual.
Doomsday, Xanadu, and the global uprising,
Time has flown by, and it will soon be rising.
Listen as I close my eyes and describe,
In an oasis where everything has an idyllic vibe.
Here is a green sky and a view of a blue lawn,
Everything here—feels authentic at dawn.
There is no sickness, no pain, and no tears,
There were no instances of the word fear.
All plates are spotless—all anxious minds are free,
A stunning horizon as vast as sight can foresee.
A flock of birds thrives high in the sky,
Demonstrating how to flap wings and fly.
A vibrant landscape wraps—a majestic pine tree,
To show how delightful nature might be.
A chuckle echoes through the gust of wind.
There are no scars to heal or spirits to bind.
This is my Utopia—if it had simply been true.
However, it won't, since truth is quite overdue.
