Lofty Hopes for the Collective · of People Pretending to Sleep
⁘ “Some of us have broader, nobler hopes for all. Hopes for improving our lives, for balance, for well-being as a collective. Helping people out there to see beyond their illusions. But it's hard to wake up those pretending to sleep.”
On one hand, we have our personal pipe dreams, our pursuit for individual fulfillment.
On the other hand, some of us have broader, nobler hopes.
Not for ourselves, but for all of us together.
Hopes for improving our lives.
Hopes for balance.
Hopes for well-being as a collective.
And there are always the few bright sparks to keep the dream alive,
some of you with truly good hearts.
Good hearts, commitment to truth, fair and just in your behavior.
And yes, that was never expected of the majority, simply the numbers were uncertain.
Pouring a full day's hours day after day
with hopes of helping people out there to see beyond their illusions.
But alas, you can hardly wake up the man pretending to sleep,
much less the one unaware of their pretense.
It will all unfold in nature's time, or not, as it happens.
