Myutopia

Brendan W Vittum
Myutopia

I Was born in a land
where we were free.

I Was born in a windowless,
walless,
world.

I Was born
in a place where nothing
but rock and tree
stained the earth
with shadow - a place
where father wind
danced
with mother moon;
where brother sun
shone
unhindered.

I Was born to a country
governed, not
by fear and hate, but by
love and understanding.

I Was not born
to a place starved
by greed, but fed
by benevolence.

Where I was born
there were no limits,
but the limitlessness
of life, of thought,
and of desire.

I Come from the land
which is fenced only
by the heart's fences.

I Was born in a land such as this,
and so, I am an exile
everywhere,
and nowhere,
that I go.

I Was born in Myutopia,
born of a world existing
in my mind - and for this
they call me mad,
an idealist, dreamer;

I Was born in a land
which will never be.

Never - until,
unless,
you wish
it to be.
