Utopia by Deborah S ReganNo man for harmony's sake would die
Unmoruned and unromantic, as in war
Death by policy and machine, before
Unknown: but men are savage, in pasttimes
One's neighbor might bring unforeseen harm
A brother is a nuisance, let him go
In freedom, and for scholarship, be alone
Far away from danger, beauty or charm
To live in peace is to harm nobody
Day to day to learn that, we'll strive on
Charmed to think it glory, when glories have gone
And all is settled in triviality
No such day has dawned on earth
