Utopia

A perfect place where it never rains
And no wildlife dies without the water
Because the air is so fresh that it
Maintains the moisture in their bodies;
Located in the sky above, resting
On the clouds – floating, looking down
At the transparent sea
Where the sea’s beasts swim without intent;
The people in Utopia live in harmony,
In buildings of pure white, towers of
Hope forever achieved, of dreams
Perpetually lived through, day-by-day,
With the tallest skyscraper for miles around
Touching the stars;
Citizens never cease to smile, basking
In the glorious consummation surrounding them,
With illness a thing of imagination and aging
An incomprehensible and inane idea;
The population increases hundreds of thousands
A day, yet endless space materialises literally from
Thin air to accommodate the new born;
Anyone can be anything they want to be
Without any need to fear unemployment,
And it makes no difference if nobody takes on the
Mathematical, scientific or engineering jobs
Because there is no economy in Utopia – just a
Civilisation that has God on its side;
For God exists, and when you talk to Him
He whispers back, and when you pray to Him
A flash of white light blazes through the sky
And your prayers are answered;
Whatever you ask He grants because there is no
Greed in Utopia, no competition amongst the masses
Whose prayers are always righteous
And for those less fortunate than them, who live in the
Unspeakable places of which rumours abound;
And there is no evil in Utopia, no fear,
No shadows in the dark,
No rain, no thunder or lightning,
No devil to dance with,
No alcohol, no drugs,
No sex for pleasure before or after marriage,
No class divides, no religious divides,
No ideologies barring the one ideology,
No money, no poverty,
No pressure placed upon shrinking shoulders;
And there is no love in Utopia because heartbreak
Only leads to bitterness, which does not really exist
As everybody cares for one another equally,
With a family the only aim of reproduction and marriage
In Utopia;
And this place, this Utopia, is the most
Perfectly oppressive place ever wished for by mankind.
