Perhaps the greatest utopia would be if we could all realize that no utopia is possible; no place to run, no place to hide, just take care of business here and now.

There will not be one kind of community existing and one kind of life led in utopia. Utopia will consist of utopias, of many different and divergent communities in which people lead different kinds of lives under different institutions. Some kinds of communities will be more attractive to most than others; communities will wax and wane. People will leave some for others or spend their whole lives in one. Utopia is a framework for utopias, a place where people are at liberty to join together voluntarily to pursue and attempt to realize their own vision of the good life in the ideal community but where no one can impose his
own utopian vision upon others.

The Road To Utopia
I blink my eyes and then it happens again
I lose my way but I discover a friend
Its a typical day on the road to utopia
I walk along until my feet are sore
I rest a minute then I walk some more
Theres no time to delay on the road to utopia
And my destination is the unknown
But Im never far away from my home
It shines like laser light
Its in my dreams at night
cause Ive been all my life
On the road to utopia
I will be there to share your tragedy
I know that you would do the same for me
Its no trouble at all on the road to utopia
When day is over and Im trying to sleep
It comes so easy cause Im not counting sheep
I am counting the smiles on the road to utopia
And I may lose my way again and again
But Ill cross that borderline in the end
Trouble trouble trouble whirling all about
But if we stick together we can stick it out
Will we ever find the loves we lost again
Does this crazy journey ever have an end
And will I find what Im after
Do I know what Im after
Guess Ill join in the laughter
On the road to utopia

Utopia
we'd gather around all in a room fasten our belts engage in dialogue
we'd all slow down rest without guilt not lie without fear disagree sans judgement
we would stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and
enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and
open and reach out and speak up
This is utopia this is my utopia
This is my ideal my end in sight
Utopia this is my utopia
This is my nirvana
My ultimate
we'd open our arms we'd all jump in we'd all coast down into safety nets
we would share and listen and support and welcome be propelled by passion not
invest in outcomes we would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference
be gentle and make room for every emotion
we'd provide forums we'd all speak out we'd all be heard we'd all feel seen
we'd rise post-obstacle more defined more grateful we would heal be humbled
and be unstoppable we'd hold close and let go and know when to do which we'd
release and disarm and stand up and feel safe
this is utopia this is my utopia
this is my ideal my end in sight
utopia this is my utopia
this is my nirvana
my ultimate

Of An Earthly Utopia
Of an Earthly Utopia all hope has not gone
The dream of peace and freedom from hunger it is living on
The flower of peace though not blooming it has not yet died
And the dream of Utopia cannot be destroyed
Those who try to detroy our Planet through their lust of greed
At the destruction of Nature cannot hope to succeed
When the last human being in eternal rest lay
Mother Nature will live on in her natural way
And since climate change is happening all around me
An Earthly Utopia i may not live to see
For the health of Mother Nature we do not seem to care
We pollute her lands and her oceans and her rivers and air
But for our crimes against her Nature us can forgive
And despite our greed the dream of Utopia does live.

Utopia
Its a strange day
No colours or shapes
No sound in my head
I forget who i am
When im with you
Theres no reason
Theres no sense
Im not supposed to feel
I forget who i am
I forget
Fascist baby
Utopia, utopia
My dog needs new ears
Make his eyes see forever
Make him live like me
Again and again
Im wired to the world
Thats how i know everything
Im super brain
Thats how they made me

Afternoons In Utopia
Acrobats and comets floating by so fast
Childrens faces smile like suns at last
Lilac butterflies are cruising without fear
All inviting you to stay and rest here
You can halt your car for an afternoon in utopia
We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in utopia
Mighty mao moondog drifts across the grass
Healing lullabies for easter time on mars
Paint your hats and shoues with flowers and with stars
Singing in metropolitan operas
You can halt your car for an afternoon in utopia
We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in utopia

Utopia To Me
That Utopia of all, that Eden place
is beyond my eyes I fear.
I can only look and concentrate
on places that are here.
I cannot dwell on a fantasy land
that is too far away.
I can only focus intently with eyes
that see what is today.
But because I can't imagine it
does not mean it's not there.
And I'm sure if I ever encountered it
there's nothing that would compare.
And what would Utopia and Eden be?
It would be gardens of music
sweet love and poetry.
I would be immersed in all of it
and pray that I could be
sharing it with you, my love
throughout eternity.

The Earth
A pale blue dot caught in a beam of light
A palace of ravishing greenery
A harmonious symphony of life
A perpetual puzzle of land and sea
A place where volcanoes vomit lava
A place where hurricanes swarm
A place where tornadoes gyrate
And yet creates itself again
The Earth
A place of ambitions
A place of emotions
A place of cruelty
A place of poverty
This is the Earth
GOD's little stage of mortality
A gateway to utopia
A gateway to immortality

Fool’s Game
I cried so much my tears has run out
Now you can’t make me cry any more.
O God I gave my mind to a wrong guy
Now it seems I am like a dead body.
I lived in a place of sweet utopia
When I came out of it then sadness gripped me.
Now I realize what mistakes I made
I wasted so much time playing fool’s game.

Utopia
There is a place somewhere over the rainbow
where peace and love lay together is a soft bed.
Where kindness and kindred-ship
are locked within each others arms.
Where hate, jealousy and greed
were banished forever a long times ago.
Where there is no famine or disease
and every soul knows only harmony and tranquillity
throughout each coming day.
A place they call Utopia.

Sowing The Seeds Of Utopia
We all know politicians only go
Just half-way there
Just half-way there
The innocence of youth needs protection not abuse
But no one seems to care
Yet no one seems to care
And you sit there adn watch the world go around
>From your pseudo-benevolent vantage point
While we who've been left to pick up after you
Try our best to make some sense for those who
Come next
Now what have you done to foster the truth
Besides just hide hide the lies?
Besides just hide hide the lies?
A selfish campaign never justifies the gain
But the means are verified
Yeah the means are verified
And you sit there and insist you are right
>From your popular psychological podium
While those who rely and depend on you
They wilt because you don't accept we need
Each other
Whule sowing the seeds of Utopia

Utopia Is Potential Golden Age Possibilities
the past is actions immutable
is set framed in sunsets past
the past is resource slave exploitation
power empires conquest civilizations
the present is possibilities changeable
choices made rites of change ideals last
the present is spun combinations decisions
choices affirmations goals chosen upheld
to liberate or deceive emphasize or believe
utopia is potential golden age possibilities
choice is universal peace harmony achieved
humanities destiny realize fulfil create believe
utopia is potential golden age race greed rejected
embracing global emancipation policy accepted

No Place To Hide
Ha, ha, ha!
I see your faces and I do not understand why
Each time I dream youre standing there right by my side.
Why do you make me? you take my pride
And in my eyes you kinda rape me... inside
I have no place to run and hide
I have no place to hide, which I like
Some will look at the time I looked back into my life.
You wanna touch me to see whats in my eyes.
Why do you make me, remember my hate, all this shame?
Dont you hate me? ... sometimes?
I have no place to run and hide.
I have no place to hide, which I like.
I have no place to run so come on follow me
I have no place to run
Which I like... I like
I have no place to run and hide.
I have no place to hide, which I like.

September In Her Finest
The sun is brightly shining the frogs sing in pond and drain
These shy and tiny amphibians their songs tell us of rain
And Spring is all around me the beauty of the Spring
The wattles in their yellow flowers the birds whistle and sing.
September in her finest she wears her cloak of green
And everywhere one turns to look there's beauty to be seen
A poet in such a Landscape would truly feel inspired
Of talking of Nature's beauty one never could grow tired.
Some pray for an Utopia beyond this Earthly shore
In a world of eternal youth for to live forever more
But this the nearest place to Utopia that i will ever know
And how many more Seasons will i see come and go?
September in her finest it is a lovely day
The tiny wrens hop on the ground in search of insect prey
And birds are whistling on the trees in the afternon sunlight
So much to write of in Nature for those who love to write.

Utopia Parkway
Well Ive been saving for a custom van
And Ive been playing for a cover band
And my baby doesnt understand
Why I never turned from boy to man
I got it made
I got it down
I am the king of this island town
Im on my own
Im on my way
Down utopia parkway
And while Im waiting for my time to come
Im gonna get a little shopping done
Ill get some paper and a staple gun
And put my name in front of everyone
I got it made
I got it down
I am the king of this goddamn town
Im on my own
Im on my way
Down utopia parkway
Gonna let my hair grow down my back
Gonna brace myself for the big attack
And theyll never know what hit them when Im gone

Utopia
Closer to Utopia than expected.
It has been witnessed.
And it comes quick.
A resistance of it will begin.
Exposing darkness that will end.
Appearances of flaws will flee.
Eyes will open to free,
Those in disbelief.
And a humanity that had been planned...
Will unite mankind hand and hand.
Dispelling misunderstandings,
To finally understand...
We are the product and not the creator of Earth.
The Moon and Sun decides together who lives or dies.
We call this collective God!
And for those who find that 'odd'...
Will never perfect that job that is done.
Utopia comes.
This evolution has begun!
To raise within everyone a higher consciousness.
And the limitedness of egos will diminish.

Beautiful Port Fairy
The air is so clean of pollution 'tis free
In Port Fairy the beautiful Town by the sea
With little development it's old charm it retain
You visit it once you will come back again.
They have a huge music festival there once a year
And to it music lovers come from far and near
Musicians from every Land entertain on every street
For three days Port Fairy the place where all cultures do meet.
From Britain and Ireland and Italy and France
The lovers of culture they sing and they dance
Musicians from Africa, Germany, Brazil and Spain
Arrive for the big weekend come sunshine or rain.
Of beautiful Port Fairy 'twould be fair to say
That Utopia from it cannot be far away
It's beautiful beaches the clean ocean air
So few places with it can hope to compare.
The Norfolk pine trees there five or six decades old
One might say a beautiful sight to behold
Just part of Port Fairy's charm and it does seem to me
That Utopia is near to this Town by the sea.

Shift In Thought
Cars racing above my head
Pills that hold a days worth of bread
Skyscrapers towering over us all
Societies no longer surrounded by walls
A utopia we used to see
A place that was very real to me
Was quickly replaced with something new
A completely different change of view
A wasteland covered in smoke and ash
The few who remain find reasons to clash
We return to our tribal ways
amongst the radioactive haze
A land I never want to see
A place that may one day be
Could quickly become reality
The proof of our races mortality
Will we watch from the moon
As we play a sad tune
Our planet as dead as Mars
While we drift among the stars
A land I can clearly see
A place that can still be
Can be protected by you and me
We just need to set it free
An Utopian Life!
Utopia is where divine life is!
Wars are the hurdles to utopia.
Education should make all gentle;
Socialistic society comes of education.
Democratic value increases by it;
A pluralistic society allows diversity;
Unity in diversity is possible there.
Knowledge based society lives well;
Best of thoughts, talks and deeds is culture;
Civilisation based on that culture is real!
Knowledge and existence are made stable there
Paving the way for love and higher pursuits and
Lead all in the exploration of ultimate reality
And the way to reach the absolute in bliss ever!

Teenage Suicide
Time's rollin' forward
I'm gettin' bored
Layin' on my back
I'm loozin' track
Shifting patterns
And nothin' matters
'Cause there's no one here
And I've lost my fear
Well I've got no place left to hide
I'm running out of time
Moving slowly
The walls are closing
In on me
I can not see
Appearing fine, well
That's all a lie
'Cause I am not alright
Extinct inside
I'm runnin' out of time
My mother says I'm fine
A teenage suicide
No place to hide
Well I've got no place left to hide
No place to hide
I'm runnin' out of time
No place to hide
Ya, I've got no place left to hide
No place to hide
A teenage suicide
