Unrestricted, unforgetting
Yet not unforgiving
Are the government and society
Of this futuristic city.
Untainted, ever brightening
And reaching higher
Up to the plains of cloud cuckoo land,
Paradise above as Paradise below.
Utopia of fantasy gone-by
Like a Wakandan landscape,
But here the absurdity is no more.
Only the just remains.
Under the sun it leads the world
Toward the light, toward truth.
Not to say strife within and without
Are unheard of anymore.
Unfortunately, they happen
Now and again, but rarely.
Less working hours make for
More socializing and creativity.
Unearthly dreams hardly seem like dreams
But nothing has lessened their appeal.
They abound within each and every one.
Only now, more actually become real.
Until now, unity seemed impossible.
For some odd reason or other
It’s taken humanity millennia to discover
The strength and creativity in this virtue.
Within this heavenly haven
I finally see absence of abuse,
Humane human beings,
And even polite politics.
We have urbane urbanity.
