MY UTOPIAN REFUGE
“If hell is full, the dead will walk the earth.” This is a famous tagline from a zombie movie I’ve watched. I came to realize something that chills me to the bones every time I think of it. What if it really happens? Surely earth will be a floating wasteland in the universe and where are we going? Have you thought of that, too?
Well, as early as now, I want to think of a place where I can start all over again. I want to create a perfect place—a utopia which I can call my safe haven.
Like any other normal individual, I also want peace. That’s the first thing I want to put in my utopia. I want to have a beautiful melody of singing birds and whispering breeze to be the noise instead of honking cars and loud music. I want to hear the sound of waterfalls and riverbanks instead of leaking faucet and damaged tubes sprinkling water. I’d like to put a lot of green mountains which look like swollen abdomen of pregnant mothers which will symbolize that in my utopia, nature nourishes everything that dwells in it not a bunch of pregnant young girls slicing off their bellies. I consider them as one of the modern-day ‘zombies’. I want dancing trees, creeping friendly creatures and lurking timid opportunists by nature to be my everyday attraction than trees being torn down, buildings being blown off by bombers, sneaking criminals and skulking greedy opportunists. Don’t you see? Right now, we are being ran by ‘zombies’ who only wanted to feed on our weaknesses. They are being controlled by their instincts to feed and feed on whatever savory benefits the opportunity can offer them as they lie on their stomachs, waiting for innocent preys. Sometimes, these ‘zombies’ feed on our ‘brains’, too. They get other people’s ideas and benefit from it without even acknowledging the person behind that wonderful idea.
We better hurry up and create a place like mine before we become one of those ‘zombies’—before we become ignorer of the fallacies of mankind.
And these wonderful thoughts make up my ideal place, my utopian refuge. This is my idea and no ‘zombies’ will devour on it, unless, you’re one of them. Are you?
