Are we there yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, not yet<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bet we are somewhere<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though not where<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We aim to get<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And where is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s a place where<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We won’t be preyed on<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anymore<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lie on anymore<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where we’ll receive<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An even score<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not being treaded on<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like mats on the floor<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where we won’t<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be slaves again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where we won’t be<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preyed on again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where enemies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Won’t pretend<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be our friend<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where those who<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Call us brother and sister<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mean it from the heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where we all<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will be respected as<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inherently smart<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where love is real<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where people won’t<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pretend they feel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What they really don’t<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That they intend to do<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What they really won’t<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where deception<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isn’t seen by those in power<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a moral gain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where people don’t feel pleasure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In causing others pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s a whole other world<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where it’s safe to let wander<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Little boys and girls<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where goods and services<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are freely given<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where we all share<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The highest standard of living<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It sounds utopian I know<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe even unreal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A land where no one<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will invade violate or steal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where individuals are held<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To a group standard<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where mutual integrity love and respect<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are collectively demanded<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if betrayed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group will be the one<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To whom amends will be made<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His sort of world<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ve known before<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But in smaller societies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Communal to the core<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They can be replicated<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a larger scale<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it will take a global struggle<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That cannot fail<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To dethrone the greedy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those who have the running or things<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cast them from their thrones<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Give the working people the reins<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where society is purged<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the urges of graft and greed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where each gives<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to ability<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To each according to their needs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
