Imagine this:

Brain freeze

 

 

 

 

Imagine this:

while love blooms for millions of people there

are millions more who go without, go without

ever knowing truly the tenderness of a warm

embrace, who wake up each morning unloved

and displaced.

Never enlightened by a congruous thought,

amalgamated meaningless hopeless and fraught.

There's someone for everybody or so I've been told, a

mystical allegory wrapped up in a bow. Something

old something new, something borrowed and something

blue, symbolic rhetoric inconceivable point of view.

Imagine this:

a world without issues, where everyone is the same, a

society of clones void of disdain. Stripped of personification

so easily, and the loss of all individuality. No wars, no

famine, no reason to blink, no words of wisdom to be

written in indelible ink.

A mindless conglomerate of flesh and blood, willing

but not able to be dragged through the mud. So what's

the point of perfect harmony, if I am you and you are me?

ahhh...what I teach my kids every day..."there is only one you...only one and no other..this is why the world is such a beautiful and interesting place." As long as there is difference there is war, as long as there is war there is famine, as long as there is famine there is death...as long as there is death there is a new beginning. Love this and of course, the music. ;-)

Two sides of the coin, guess we have to float down into one pocket of thought .. for me it has to be the first, the arms, the warmth, the differences of a planet full of people; however, there'd have to be the ability to somehow help even a few of those who need that vital missing touch.

I couldnt bear the thought of reading another person's mind or have the same happen in reverse or not have the freedom to be me, it would be like being an automatated singing bird in a cage ..

Food for thought here .. will come back to it again. As to the video, has to be great, tis Pink Floyd!

These are the words of the wise my friend, and that with emotion
and one that feels, and yes, imagines...

Wow - if you are me and i'm you....no one needs to think..imagine if we could read minds; if everyone we looked at and they looked back at us as beautiful - giving and sharing alike...like you said...a mystical allegory wrapped up in a bow

the fables we need to hold onto...the dream of a constant utopia would probably erase all of our other emotions - just like robots....

Excellent writing here! The world would be one boring place if we all were alike, there would be no flavor!
