Utopia

Imagine if there was a parallel universe Just a wee bit ahead in time To allow us to avoid all our mistakes A civilization most perfect in kind How incredibly amazing that would be A real chance to get things right It would surely be possible to end all wars To eliminate our desire to fight Finally all over this great planet Earth Peace and brotherhood would exist No hunger no famine no worldwide disease Like Utopia rising from the mist I'd surely be lost if I couldn't imagine So call me a dreamer if you must Until proven beyond a shadow of a doubt In a better future I will trust Imagine if there was a parallel universe Where all of our dreams came true Till my dying breath I'll keep hope alive For a world with a sky ever blue! © Jack Ellison 2014

Dear Jack... The Utopia you're talking about is heaven, and we'll get there by and by. In the mean time we'll have to make the best of what we've got and just follow Dragon's antics around to give us a smile... He is FOR truth, music, justice, and the Dragon way of thinking. Apparently he's into music now... You should see him do the twist! It's something to behold! But when his tail gets to whipping around it kinda throws him off track... and we all fall down! Honestly! What a sight!

Wars have always been part of the human psyche unfortunately! Maybe one day... Hugs, Jack XOX

There is a multiverse hypothesis. So I cannot call you a dreamer. It can be true someday. Your poem has induced peace in me. Thank you. LOVE.
