Democracy.

Nuclear missile,
Heading this way,
Been around for a while,
But it’s going to ruin this day,
Nuclear explosion,
Destroying all of man,
A critical implosion,
Some crazy master plan,
A brilliant, blinding brightness,
That burns and blacks the eyes,
A relative calm and peacefulness,
Beneath these darkened skies,
I’m fearful of obliteration,
From this atomic age,
Forcing our capitulation,
It fills me up with rage.

Utopian.

Beware of Utopia,
It’s not what quite it seems,
Left wing propaganda,
Printed by the reams,
Watch out for imperfections,
That punctuate their dream,
Look for your reflection,
You won’t find it through the steam,
Let them call you comrade,
And share with you their trust,
Washington will be glad,
As they watch Utopia rust,
Forging new relations,
Building blocks are laid,
Meaningful conversations,
Signs of gestures to be made,
The real utopian vision,
Is where we all free,
It’s not this communism,
It’s not that tyranny.

" War is peace,
Freedom is Slavery,
Ignorance is strength" - George Orwell "1984"

this is entirely true. all of it is entirely true. and i like this, because it's entirely true.

I wish people would stop telling me that I can do anything I want to. I never thought that I couldn't.

Brilliant choice of topic, Marshal.
The 'Utopian' stage was excellent. You had a wonderful flow and a fantastic choice of words to describe such a world.

Great work.

Mashal, nicely done here. There's a lot of mind boggling stuff in here.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
