35) Utopia

I dreamed the dream of that wonderful place -
No one was alone and for everyone there was space.
With bread and butter for the weak and the strong,
Where young and old together sang the merry song.
Where everyone perfectly understood  each other,
The language of the heart - spake every sister-brother.
Where all laws of the land were no longer needed -
Every individuals' needs were spontaneously heeded.


To every suffering and disease there was a cure-
The joy of life celebrated- no one had to endure.
 Where the wise allowed simple mistakes to be made;
And young learners' foundations were joyfully laid.
Where the religion of progress only was followed -
Prosperity was shared and depression was not borrowed.

Both the rich and poor - respect had to be earned
In one's loss, the other had nothing to be gained.
Armed battles on the outside were no longer fought;
To end the war within- great victories were sought  
Man 's might ensured a home for every living creature -
And his machines ran to overcome the vagaries of nature


The Lines of Hatred and division were forever lost 
The judging of Good and Evil - just a thing of the past!
In such a place-where every one could succeed
Where the novice allowed the experienced to lead -
Joy and Sorrow both played their own part ;
Shared Together - no one ever stood apart .

All strove in harmony for the light to descend
Hand in hand  - Everyone had begun to ascend.
Oh! Such a blissful place it was that i saw-
No where could i spot even a singular flaw .
But suddenly it ended when my eyes opened wide -
Caught In darkness and confusion i had nowhere to hide

In vain, I  closed my eyes hoping to dream and again see,
Just another glimpse of the world that would someday be.
Of this dream I knew not what I should make,
Was I asleep or was I  then truly awake?
