If poverty did not exist nobody would ever need to work, not the wealthy, nor the poor. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of wisdom. That is what we believe in. The starship that will be the pinnacle of twenty first century achievement. An engineering marvel, but where will that take us, if not a sapling is carried with us in our journeys, and not a mew is heard amongst the dark expanses of a journey to create earths? Honestly, the word ‘new’ appended to cities will be amongst the most hackneyed of occurrences as we sojourn towards increasing the general consciousness of the universe. What new fruits will we taste, what aromatic vegetables? Be patient, whisper the gentry in the parliaments of the earth, for developing a theory might take no more than ten years, but we want to savor its development, swish it in our mind, roll it in our brain. Expansion is just one of the eternal tasks of humanity. The other is to homeostate what already exists, that a heightened civilization need not fester at the centre. Have you ever felt peace during sunset? Sustaining that contentment for longer periods is what a more organized universe will hold for us.
Hearken! Oh mighty Windsors! Your rule has no bounds, which is why I, a humble Arab, can cast my allegiance to you, living in a oasis of blue skies and needy cats. Your scepter might be small, but it will clink the mellowest of sounds when parrying and thrusting against the papal ferula, a debate recorded for the benefit of both sides. Yes, I am a Muslim, but my prayer stone reminds me everlastingly that I worship the earth. Your angels are the wills of steel that create an invisible mesh of regularity to a chaotic world, and though Zeus conquered the titans, Hades still spreads his mist in the hinterlands of what should be thriving and bustling megalopolises. Envy you the moon? Just name a place there, and it will be populated. Strike me with lightning, for I will eke out every little morsel of effort from your people, galvanizing them into building wonders looked back upon after millennia the way Stonehenge is looked at now, which though small now, was the peak of civilization then....
