to live

i want to live in a world where you can wake up in the morning knowing that you are safe. safe from war, from poverty, from famine, from disease, from social attrocities, from hatred, from animosity, from self-loathing, from pestilence and plague.

i want to live in a world where you have time to take off, from your daily chores, from your daily life, from your daily routine, form your daily slog. to 'watch the grass grow' (thank you for the enlightenment, my dear friend, king-of-four). where you have a moment's respite from the dullness that is the sharp-blade of reality, to smell the proverbial roses, and drink from the cup of life, what water is serenity and wine is providence.

i want to live in a world where nobody can answer, 'where is your god now?'. ever.

i want to live in a world where everyone can answer, 'where is your god now?'. without a moment's hesitation.

i want to live in a world where it is okay for the chicken to come before the egg, and vice versa. where deities hold hands with gods of the pantheon hold hands with monotheistic gods hold hands with agnostic ones hold hands with you and me.

i want to live in a world when there is no original sin, when there is no burden of life, when there is an eternal propagation of humanity as a people, but not as a persons.

i want to live in a world where living is just a waste of death, and sleeping is just a waste of breath, and waking is a dream for the sleeping, and walking is an ennui of the lying (just as much as truthfulness is).

i don't think i want to live at all.
