U – Utopia

U – Utopia

There is a place that I’ve heard of

It has flowers that bloom all year long

Its buildings historic and modern

Build a life that welcomes us all

It’s filled with people all different

In color, sex, shape, size, and belief

Yet they all work together

In harmony as one and in peace

Our differences make us much stronger

As we spend our time trying to hear

What each side of an issue is saying

Without malice or lies to spread fear

And when we’ve heard all the discussion

And a decision has to be made. 

We can look for a spot in the middle

So that each can accept and’s okayed.

This is how we’ll survive and we’ll flourish

For me, there was never a doubt

That this is the place we’ve all heard of.

The one where we all want to be.

Though some say that it’s only a dream.

You can wish all you want.

It’s a lie.

But I know for sure that it’s out there

But to get there you really must try.

Not only to believe its existence

You must also be willing to act

And to listen and share and be helpful

And accept each for who they are

So we all can live with each other

Be productive, and happy, and proud.

Now let us create what we dream of

A Utopia that exists the world ‘round.

About hdh

I have been telling stories for over 40 years and writing forever. I am a retired teacher and storyteller. I hope to expand upon my repertoire and use this blog as a place to do writing. The main purpose is to give me and others that choose to comment, a space in which to play with issues that deal with storytelling, storytelling ideas, storytelling in education, reactions to events, and just plain fun stories. I explore some of my own writing throughout, from character analysis, to fictional, to poetry, and personal stories. I go wherever my muse sends me. Enjoy!
