A Fabrication (Free verse) by whispern_smoke_wisp
Iâm going to write a story
about a family.
It will have a mother
and a father
a girl and a boy
and a dog and cat.
The mother and the father
will both work.
Not for the money
but for the pleasure
they get from what they do.
But it is okay,
because the kids
go the their Grandparents after school.
And even though with all of their hectic activities
they rarely get to see each other during the week.
Sunday is always brunch and family movie day,
followed by dinenr with Grandma.
I am going to write a story
about a town.
It will have a mayor,
and a council,
and committeeâs that makes sure
that everything gets done.
And the crime rate will be close to 0.
And nobody minds being talked about,
because there is no bad gossip here.
They all respect each others privacy.
And every spring the highschool
does a play, from Shakespeare.
And everybody comes out to watch it,
even if it isnât that good.
Iâm going to write a story
about a country.
Where everybody goes out to vote
in the elections.
And where all of the politicians
are honest and have
the peoples best interest in heart.
It will be a country where
everybody will always support their country
even if they donât agree,
because, it is their country.
And no one will ever complain about taxes,
because they understand why they are collected,
and the forms for them are extremely simple.
There will be no judging, or prejudice,
and everybody will coexist
in a fairly peaceful way.
Iâm going to write a story
about a world.
Where there is no need to check people
at the borders of countries.
There are not terrorists.
And the bad guys always get apprehended
at just the right moment,
usually because their plan is stupid,
and they arenât too bright themselves.
Nobody knows what a nuclear bomb is.
And there are no land disputes,
and all of the countries are equal.
In it, the UN will be a source of world government.
Wielding power fairly to keep the world at peace.
And everybody agrees that it is important
to help any countries that are down.
I am going to write a story
about a universe.
Where there is life on other planets
and on other galaxies.
We humans need only to discover them.
And when they do, their will be peace between us and
the aliens,
so to speak.
And communication will develop between us,
and we will share our technologies with each other.
Of course their will be vacations to other solar systems on a regular
basis.
And people will continue discovering things,
in this Space frontier.
And when all of space is explored something else will
be discovered, to feed the adventurer spirit.
And if you go far enough
out into the middle of nowhere
in this galactic universe,
that I am fabricating,
you will eventually reach a cloud
or a planet
or large blanket of mist
like the milky way, but it will be 10 times greater.
And if you poke your head or you spaceship
through that layer of nothing
you will discover the angels,
and maybe they will be having
a dance competition,
with God.
