Imagine It.

it's not that the world

is going to hell in a 

hand

basket

it's just that hell

might not be

just

how

we imagine it.

we imagine it.

it's not that the world

will ever achieve

any

particular

Utopian Dream

which seems

never

to be

quite how

we imagine it.

we imagine it.

it's not that the world

is any different

deep

down

than any of us

and our longing to be

safe, free; and it's not

all of

us

who swim 

in greed

it's not how 

we imagine it.

we imagine it.

its not that the world

is without; it's within

thought

word

deed eventually

manifesting

hopes

or fears

however

we imagine it.

we imagine it.
