What do we do to deserve a better world
Does Utopia exist?
Or are humans too flawed to ascend
Are we damned to mediocrity
Are we broken unable to mend
Do we deserve happiness
Or do we deserve to mourn
Every time the globe turns
The orbit decays a small amount
With every spin more people die
With each rotation babies are born
What can we do to make the world better
Or are we condemned to Hell
Or condemned to live upon a planet scorned
By our hands
I seek hope but reality might demand our end
And still I have hope
Perhaps this existence is a final door
To a world we cannot yet imagine
“A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing. And when Humanity lands there, it looks out, and, seeing a better country, sets sail. Progress is the realisation of Utopias.”
