Utopian Poem by Ivana Valasik

Utopian

Rating: 5.0


Looking for a place
where no one knows
what we have (not) done

where we will not
be judged for
our mistakes
and our past

Looking for a place
where envy is forbidden
and rumors don't exist

where hatred or hostility
could never survive

Looking for a place
where love and smiles
are the units of currency

Looking for a place
where everyone is free

Looking

Still looking

Hmm, sweet words. I will join you in your quest to be a citizen of Utopia. In the words of Damian Marley, Got to keep on walking, on the road to Zion.

Utopia is a vexed question. The classic utopias written by Renaissance scholars usually had strict laws, dictatorial governments and rigid societal roles. That's how order was maintained so society could run smoothly. The world you want is closer to Rabelais's ABBEY OF THELEME, which has the motto, Do as you please, so long as your pleasure hurts no one. But getting to the Abbey takes a long, perilous sea-voyage.
