"Only those who will risk going too far
can possibly find out how far one can go."

Utopia, Dystopia
by Benji

I had strolled through the streets of time
with my eyes motioned downward.

I was fearful of the adversity
I would undeniably witness
and the citizens who would
undoubtedly judge my soul.

With my head tilted down
I triumphantly completed my quest.
I walked a thousand miles
and did not see one unkind act.

Somehow in my lonesome journey toward Utopia,
I had failed to recall the reasons of my travels.
I had seen naught but the fruitless sight of my worn out shoes.

Somehow in my journey towards Utopia,
I had missed all the beauty along the way.
