Empty Shells Of Hope

Empty Shells Of Hope

Immersive wisdom of our virtual world 
that shimmers in the neurons of our brains 
guides our journey through labyrinth of desires 
so we may navigate physical landscape 
of the possible our hands can achieve 
by surfing well waves of cause and effect. 

I want to construct economic system 
that assigns creative role for each person 
so we maximize production of food 
that provides sustenance for everybody 
to support their more creative endeavors 
transforming our world into paradise. 

Too many people die in brutal conflicts 
where groups compete for limited resources 
when everybody could cooperate 
so all experience pleasures of desire 
by sharing produce in grand feasting hall 
to feast and celebrate people we love. 

I wander waste land of our bombed-out cities, 
remembering how our culture used to be, 
people driving cars between work and home, 
then sharing food at parties with our friends, 
but now their laughter echoes in the wind 
that blusters through the empty shells of hope.
