Utopia

"We were promised a better life in home countries/We were told privatising water and electricity would make things run more efficiently/Instead the quality remained almost the same/And the price was increased until it became an unaffordable luxury/Some corporations are more efficient than government/But their motivation is not the health or wellbeing of people/It's only about profit/Everything else, their image, their human resources, their public relations/Only exist to protect the reality behind it...", Immortal Technique - Open Your Eyes.

Asalam aleykum, my brothers and sisters.

Awhile back, Bella and I were having one of those arguments. He, as usual was going against everything I support. From democratic elections to politicians. Don't get it wrong, I don't believe in most politicians, but there are the select few, that I applaude their effort in the world. Like the one I've spoken most frequently about, President Barrack Hussein Obama.

Then, for once, we actually came to an amicable solution. He suggested, that they should run government just like they run companies. With a CEO, appointed by a board of directors from all over the country. With different provinces broken to departments, and citizens as staff.

I know I've over quoted Immortal, but this guy if fucking brilliant! It's like what's in my heart, comes out his mouth (Nullus). But you know, think about it.

Basically, the government only exists to protect and serve its people. And with that, we are bound to failing government, till the day someone will be heroic enough to sacrifice his or her ambitions, goals and achievements, and take the realm. Hopefully, ushering in a new generation of governance.

Our very own Barrack (Yes, we are on a first name basis, plus the NSA have deleted their file on me...). But is there such a person? Definitely, it can't be me. I'm what most American government institutions would call, an unstable extremist... Why? Because I dare to dream?

Dream of a day when there will be no famine or hunger in Africa? A day when Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Atheists and even Scientologists, can live together in peace? A day with no war in Africa or the Middle East? A day when a person doesn't have to steal to feed his family? A day with no deaths from HIV/AIDS? A day when the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) doesn't conduct it's human testing on poor, unsuspecting Africans....

Yeah. They do. Why do you think there's a CDC logo on the side of every Red Cross tent, next to the Donate Blood sign...?

Utopia... I guess I've given the NSA enough keywords for them to abduct me (alien style), so lemme wake from this dream, and go back to the harsh reality, that is life...

"The only true meaning of life, is death...", Denny Crane.

Militant out.
