In a perfect world, no one would be homeless or hungry. Food would be in abundance and the days would always be warm and full of sunshine. There would be a wealth of knowledge available to all beings. A knowledge of life, love and true happiness.

*Exhale* my perfect fantasy I guess you could call it. But since I’m in the mode of wishful thinking why is this not possible? Why can’t we live in a world where gentrification is not a form of silent control? Why can’t we live in a world where the quality of our nourishment is not dependent upon whether or not one can afford Whole Foods or the local Bodega? Why can’t we live in a world where safety is not a matter of race, skin color or perception?

The question is and will always remain why. It seems the world we exist in is inebriated off of greed and all a sober mind can still do is ask why.
