imagine
imagine a world of 8,000,000,000 people
where every one of them does their own thing
and doesn’t care what the other 7,999,999,999 tell them to do
and every one of the 8,000,000 thinks their own thoughts
and doesn’t care what the other 7,999,999,999 think
imagine a world of 8,000,000,000 people
where every one of them writes a best selling novel
and the other 7,999,999,999 all read it
and think it is the greatest novel they ever read
and where every one of the 8,000,000,000 people directs a blockbuster film
which wins every academy award
and the other 7,999,999,999 people all watch it
and think it is the greatest movie they ever saw
and where every one of the 8,000,000,000 starts a new religion
and the other 7,999,999,999 are all converted to it
and give all their money and property to it
imagine a world. of 8,000,000,000 people
where every one of them is a poet
sitting in a sidewalk cafe
watching the other 7,999,999,999 walk by
and writing a poem in a little notebook
describing the other 7,999,999,999 walking by
imagine a world. of 8,000,000,000 people
and every one of them is a waiter
bringing a cup of espresso to the 7,999,999 poets
watching the other 7,999,999,998 inhabitants of the planet passing by
and the 7,999,999 poets
leave a tip for the 7,999,999,999 waiters
who will go home to their 7,999,999,999 lonely rooms
and write 7,999,999,999 revolutionary manifestos
that will inspire 7,999,999,999 revolutions
wait
something is missing
someone is missing
where is number 8,000,000,000?
they must be here somewhere
