When I was a young fella
I was told several times
By wise grumpy older people
Bryan, what’s your goal – Utopia?
 
And I was like, Damn right
Why not aim for it?
 
My goals have changed immensely
The big sticks have been removed
I know not for where I head
Because I know where I am
 
Seeking Utopia in the external world
Is like seeking perfection within
 
It’s like chasing the horizon of enough
And comparing yourself to magazine covers
You will never arrive
 
The fuel you burn will smell like suffering
 
It’s the game we play of
Can I make myself into someone that can be loved more
Loved by more
Perhaps even by myself
 
Disappointment is a guarantee
The whiff of love’s ghost will get you high enough
To stay trapped in the chains of frustration
 
An adult caught within a child that demands attention
 
A focus on Utopia
Is a focus on the specifics
At the expense of the foundations
And you know how much I love foundations
Boring, right?
 
Be very careful now
As you build the minority
You will destroy the majority
And create a world unloved
 
A world incapable of love
A world of chaos and confusion
 
But the head is smarter
Or so we have been lead to believe
But the heart beats strong
Which is more powerful?
 
What’s easier to control
The heart or the brain
Which one are you paying most attention to?
 
Who owns the profits
Well, who owns the prophets
 
Does (Your) God exist?
Is God a concept? is $ a concept? are you a concept?
 
Who has the power
Who did you give it to?
 
Let’s play another game
Break down the most people
To rescue the few
Ouch
 
The growing pains of globalisation
The un-seen dangers of globalisation
 
If we can’t predict the future
Are we blind?
 
What happens when the truly obedient
Get concussed
They have no choice
But to trust their nurse, their saviour
 
But where’s the coach?
