ONLY A DREAM


One night I had a dream. I dreamed that I had woken up and was reading in the paper news: "International banks forgive the poor countries´ debts.". and it continued. "so as to initiate a new era without misery among the countries." The paper said: "The government chiefs perceived that if they didn´t do that, the situation would be even worse for them."

I thought what would really be better? To keep the creator healthy to save the situation, or to exploit him till his death. To exploit him till death, extort him till the end, to be in charge of his land. to spread the globalized empire. to more and more expel the poor from their places, so as to make them become nomads, homeless. That could be a profitable business?

At the end, the poor people would always give a lot of troubles and expenses. The soil was already very fruitless and the natural resources almost finishing. only if it were to exploit the Amazon!. But what would they do against those who defend the forest, the diamond of the earth? Besides that, the environment was hanging by a thin thread. They preferred not to take the risk.

That´s why they decided to forgive the debts in order to recover the economies of those countries. As a result of that, they were recovering their own economies and, thus, the environment in the earth. They would help the poor countries to finish the corruption and their inner debts, as well. They also discovered that the natural resources were finite.. and that their mass destructive bombs did not have true targets, but innocent persons. their weapons were obsolete. Today the war of intelligence prevailed over invisible enemies, cavern and hole dwellers, because there was not space in the stars. They, then decided to have a treaty of peace: The Day For Forgiveness. All the poor countries would ask the rich ones for forgiveness, and at the same time, they would forgive among themselves. It was a general confession, it was unequal. The Day For Forgiveness was historical.

A musical show was held in everywhere in the world. It was performed simultaneously. Sometimes sacred music was played, sometimes New Age, anthems belonging to different countries, and the song "Imagine" by John Lennon. Everybody was moved. Religious music, as well as music calling for peace were sung in choirs, in all languages. and I cried and thought. I may just be dreaming. The mothers all over the world thanked the Chiefs of States, holding their smiling children in front of the TV cameras.

The children looked healthy, without hunger, without fear. Everybody was thankful to the Chiefs of States, because the expenses to develop the weapon race had been reduced to 50%, in order to feed the hunger of millions. Even the people from the United States decided to forgive those who destroyed the Twin Towers, showing a great lesson of kindness. The rich countries asked the world to forgive them, if, by chance, they had harmed anybody, due to the greed of Capitalism. The America!

n Government, together with other countries, asked for more peace for the Islamic people, and promised to respect their religious beliefs, even more.

Being enchanted by the splendor of the music, the people all over the world were touched, and were take the common origins of every human being. The fences were broken up. All the hands were interwoven.

The rich countries decided to socialize their spare goods for the benefit of other nations. They did that just for humanitarian ethics. And the nations of the southern hemisphere,as a gratitude, exported cereals, oil and honey with very available prices. Mankind, thus, was getting a higher level in the evolution scale.

I woke up with tears in my eyes, feeling that peace!
Little by little I was coming back to the nightmare.

What a pity!. I wish I could dream again, together with all the women on the earth.
