I Left my Heart in Utopia

People used to dream of a better world, now it seems it is good if we just get something less than 1984 by Orwell and a little more "American" Brave New World.

People rarely speak the way that dreamers dreamed years ago of a world of freedom, imagination and technological wonders to free mankind to be able to do more Art, Love and Spiritual Enlightenment.  

Now we accept soundbite renditions of lofty ideas, memes on the internet that give us a happy feeling for a moment and then are lost in the ever pushing forward busy world of 9 to 5

We have lost the 'Hippy" thoughts of a communal world that takes care of each other for the Profit driven Corporation Job which gets you a fancy car and high mortgage rate in some cookie cutter suburb that smell so much of sameness and ennui .  

Dreams of Utopia were killed early in the 20th century and then beaten to death with dystopic Mad Max movies and bloody SAW mentality that the best we can ever do is kill each other.

I Miss the FLOWER POWER days of my youth

I still Believe in the Impossible.
