An Utopian Life!
"It is a fresh morning. The rays of the new sun reflected everywhere across the horizon. Birds and different feathers begin to chime joy and peace. Pleasant showers from above drenched every creation on earth. Clouds floated and played with the West Wind. All hills and mountains are seen dressed with green clothes. Waters of seas and oceans are seen strolling reverberating silent songs. Green pastures offer themselves to cattle and lambs. Mongooses and cobras play friendly games. Lion family and cat family walk majestically. Creatures seen and unseen lead a pious life.
Rainbows reflect people's joy and peace. Pleasant sunshine speaks people's righteousness. Moon and stars proclaim the world's love and compassion for one another.
Countries are seen warless, sitting together speaking love and peace. Prosperity and opulence flourish everywhere on earth. Inflation and deflation in people's economy are absent in their transactions. Citizens of countries are seen in jobs and no discrepancy is raised amongst them.
I walk through the world and being a citizen, I see everywhere smiles and laughter. Folks are seen dressed with the same thread. Sidewalks and platforms are seen free from encroachments of the rich and the poor. Shops and malls are open for all.
I travel above the air. Airplanes and helicopters fly high carrying passengers without discrimination. Ideal engines of the flying machines work ceaselessly with no rust and black.
I take a voyage into the seas and oceans. Ships and vessels float with no violent ebbs and tides. Surfers and divers tickle whales and sharks. Waters are seen still and silent, yet with sparkling with waves proclaiming the Lord's Word.
I climb above hills and mountains. They look sturdy and firm reverberating songs of praise. Valleys and ravines sing aloud the Lord's Glory.
I walk through forests. Plants and trees are seen with fruits and flowers. Nowhere are seen weeds. Dens and caves do not depict violence, but symbolize peace and gentleness.
I traverse through people's society. I take a seat under a banyan tree. I enter governments.
"We receive no grievances. I'm happy."
"Of course, citizens have sufficiency of inputs in their life."
"Their inputs are more; their outputs are less."
"Our hands are not corruptive."
"We don't have politics."
"Yes, we are their servants."
"And, they are our folks."
I hear conversation of a few politicians, NO, Leaders. I'm happy. Yes, they're for citizens.

I resume my journey. I encounter no discrimination. Rather I see unity among leaders. I perceive storehouses full of grains along my way. There are no party symbols seen anywhere. People, who serve government, walk among citizens. Scorpios and BMWs are nowhere seen on roads. Government serves the citizens.

I walk beside my fellow-beings. Cops are seen everywhere without arms, but guiding the citizens in their ways. All through my way I see shops of intoxicating drinks. Men and women walk side by side and there are no complaints against one another. There are no people in rags found on roads.

I look inside banks. I find transactions are carried out in order. Queue is maintained. Rapport is maintained between the bank officials and customers. Transactions with smiles are seen everywhere.
There is no transaction on loans and debts, but on savings and withdrawals.

I run my eyes over the shops of Gold and Diamond. I can perceive ‘customers doing transactions without craze'. (Why do people fall on Gold and Diamond? I ask myself.) I keep silent, I don't know why.

I walk through roads and streets. I can hear Voice of God through His Word everywhere. I rejoice in the Great Change of life in the world. I begin to fly in air rejoicing in the existing righteousness in human life. My joy and laughter begin to flash across…………….

ALAS! An explosion with a heartbreaking thunderous noise wakes me from a deep sleep. I look outside. There is no change in human life. I see people run skelter-helter.

It's an ideal dream! Satan rules the world. There will not be change. Death alone reveals the mystery. The Word of God alone judges human life.
