Time's Ideal by Robert G Parent

Time's Ideal
by Robert G Parent

I got the idea for this poem when I was meditating on the Star Trek Universe. This is why I like scifi because it takes my mind, my imagination to new thinking and new wisdom.
In the Star Trek Universe, everyones needs are met by the state (i.e. the federation). Well, this sounds like socialism to me. But, it was proven that socialism doesn't work and we are focusing on turning this world into more of a democratic place where all voices are heard. Even though we do have socialistic programs in this country (i,e. Social Security, medicare). It is also said that we do not have a true democracy that it is mixed with socialism. Maybe that is the magic bullet for peace, prosperity, and freedom. Maybe this is a step toward the true democracy in the future.

Hope you enjoy the poem,
Robertg
