utopia

with no wars...
there would be peace between all nations.
but with no wars there would be no catalyst to our evolution.
no stimulation to our economies of money and technology.
nothing to develop our skills nor push us to our limits.
no reason with which to arm and protect ourselves.
ironically, with no wars, we may possibly be non existent.

with no poverty...
there would only be greed.
with no poverty there would be no fear for the gluttonous.
no punishment for the wrong we do.
no reason for us to continue labouring.
no value to the currencies of trade.
and with no currencies, no trade.
and no trade, no resources.

with wide-spread education...
everyone would be intelligent.
but if everyone were to be so smart, there would be no masses.
with no masses there would be no one to do the dirty work.
no one to make the world turn.
only people to think it, design it, evaluate it.
and that's about it.

with no dictators and leaders...
we would have no direction.
anarchy would ensue.
for there would be no one to judge us.
no one to teach us the rules.
no one to lay down the law.
we would all be dictators.
and we would all be in conflict.

with no disease...
we would all be healthy.
but we would all be fragile.
we would not be resilient.
we would not understand the feeling of pain.
and thus, we could not be living.

with no god...
we would be helpless.
for we all are just humble creatures.
requiring food, shelter, a fuck - or a few.
and a spiritual place to hide in when the times grow dark.
a personal recognition and security blanket for everything we do.
and reason and justification for the things we do.

without
multiple gods...
there would be no dispute between beliefs.
but with no dispute a
nd no war...
