Udopia
The world is turning inward
In the most bizarre of ways
— Politically
The most communal and
Collective
The most public
And connected
Of all pursuits
Is beset
By those who want
Their toys back
Because in their youth
In the sandbox of their dreams
They were asked to share them
With others
And now that they have grown
They can spin whole philosophies
Whole rationales
They can dress their most selfish
Mine! mine! mine!
In comfortably virtuous clothes
By citing government abuses
And Randian clichés
But all they really want
The thing that drives them onward
And inward
Is that sandbox again
With their own toys back
And no one there to tell them
Let others share in your joy
Let others have a turn
