Forgotten Utopia

As I wonder the pastoral fields

I picture my Utopia.

One ruled by a selected elite everything

Is safe and sound.

Children laugh and gather cultured flowers

Utopia. Foreign wall keeps

Brute vagabonds with wild dogs

At bay.

The wealth is shared among people

Man, woman, and child.

Houses replicated in cohesive cookie cutters.

Old man on Bottle.

Nurtures peonies and sprigs of lavender

Law forbids such kindness.

I admire Old man, showing empathy.

Isn’t a Perfect Utopia?

It’s mine; it’s where I grew up.

A Utopia.

Of resilient faces forced to be happy.
