Demand more. Want less.

Imagine
what we could
get done
if we put our
minds to it,
if we set aside
the simple bullshit
and focused
on a better standard
of living.

If we took all of
the career politicians
and bankers
and billionaires
and self help gurus
and lawyers,
and placed them on
their own little island
away from anything
that we hold dear -
think of what
we could accomplish.

If we stopped killing
for bibles and oil,
land and resources.
If we refrained from
unjustifiable judgment.

If we could stop
hurting
one another
for just a little while ...
where would we be?

If we didn't worry
about who other
people
loved,
or what they believed,
or how they put their pants
on
in the morning ...

If we only did
that which
excites us.

If we didn't
have to be
s h o c k i n g
to be
n o t i c e d ...

If we were
constructive.

If we didn't
have to worry
where the next meal
was going to come from.

If we didn't
have to worry
about the cost of
l i v i n g .

Then we could
find out
what hope
really looks like.
