Utopia is not a place

It's a State of Mind

Utopia is not a place

Changing the world one mind at a time

to make a better place for all

A Utopia where people care

and never find themselves in despair

It's time for a new paradigm

Complacency when in control — objects to change

even denying the energy to examine its range

And for those who couldn’t agree more

find reasons not wanting to explore

Choosing to repeat the ill fraught furor

These intolerant times deploy

while dutifully settled

in minds irrepressible zone

It's the devil they know— the one they condone

*****************

There's a new devil come to town

it's name is – Covid –aka– Pan Demic

It's alarming how a microscopic bug

By itself has the power to change the world

And is currently calling the shots

controlling the narrative with a shrug

Chasing the hierarchy of intelligent thoughts

to leap through hoops and find a drug

A virus so regnant to connect the dots

Terrorizing large swaths of non-believers

Prescribing cures of anything — non-scientific

Dumbed-down deniers now lining up

Destined to become the next dying

Humanity is too blind sighted to see

the stupor of fear – impossible to flee

emasculated and mired in its state of ennui

********************

While Mother Nature takes a stand to shake us awake

Declaring how preposterous it is to plan

how unimportant when life suddenly comes to an end

The world would be a favorable place

if not for this terrible cry

A message so many choose to deny

With all the distrust in science and politicians

thinking only they know the best actions

There is little trust or confidence in untested cures

instead they misunderstand and demand

we get in lockstep with their exigent plan

For what reason should we be following

As the news media and social shouting

boldly fashions room for doubting

Losing faith in a system born so chaoticaly

Causing to wonder if the inherited survivors

the Gen Meek—will be our future ideology

And what might that conceivably be?

******************

Christianity has dictated our lives for 2,050 years

You might question why it’s not working

How can this legendary power dictate

Such unnatural restraint over our soul’s fate

Common sense has been laid waste

traded for a blindly defiant second face

Democracy itself verboten – something to expropriate

and if given their Supremely-White-Only-Way-of-life

would have wiped out diversity yesterday

A network believing the universe is controlled

by an authoritarian Monarch - on his throne

Finds unacceptable an elected ordinary person

capable to lead people home

Albeit one who thinks like Jesus - to care for the poor - heal the sick

and repel the evils behind political tricks

Instead—it makes sense to them

that the Republic be sanctioned

by another kind of authoritarian

But only the one they deem qualified

Permitting darker urges in their DNA to decide

If praying really worked as their dogma claims

why is Vladimir Putin not dead or in chains

******************

Humanity now stands at the fork of final decisions

it has entered the time for judgment day

Primarily man has chosen to go with misery

Bound by heart and soul to live and die

in a fragmented world mirrored by

a self imposed dystopian reality

********************

If our species Is to survive, we must become

United in Divine Consciousness

WE must become the Resurrected One

The phoenix evolution for which we've all been waiting on

A newly acquired Utopia launched in the mind

until now a useful tool in the devil's armory

To torture the soul is it's wanton priority

there is only one solution for a sane resolution

to go beyond its wicked goal

To plug into and bask in the ecstasy and elevation

Of our personal celestial pole

And live resplendently - blissfully

in an existing paradisical knoll

Revealing to all the proclamation

We must surrender our ‘self’ to become part of the whole ~
