The most important question is ‘How to Live’, not ‘Why Live?’

Ideal City

Where the people have primary benevolent impulses

Where the people have human heart

Natural affection for home, mother and sweetheart

And instinct to give and share

Where inviolable Ten Commandments are obeyed

Whoever opposes Virtue is a traitor

Whoever criticizes Virtue is a suspect

 

Ideal City

Where Virtue is the foundation

Where doing good is the only revolution

Where all nuclear weapons are destroyed

Where we build structure of Freedom

Where life’s preservation is the greatest value

 

 This is the City of God

This is the City of humanity

Not for skeptics and nihilists

This is the City of the Faithful

This is not a city of cynical revolutions

Which justify all crimes and wars.

This is a new City of  Non-violence

 

This is what we need

Institutions of theosophy and pacifism

Higher evolution of human beings

Advent of mysticism

Imitation of Jesus and Buddha

And Zen our soothing medicine

 

Ideal City

Here the question is ‘How to Live’, not ‘Why Live?’

Devil here suffers continuous defeats

Our fate is not decided by Nuclear Powers

Philosophers and Poets rule here

And ponder over nuclear war insanity

‘Live and let live’ is the eternal value

    I don’t think this will ever be accomplished on earth, but it is the City I want to live in.

    I immediately remembered the Guns n Roses song “Live and let die”…total opposite to yours…:)

    An ideal city where everyone lives and let live. Sounds like a wondrous place. Maybe someday we can achieve that dream here on earth.

    Love it. There are so many people around the world with benevolent hearts, it is so unfortunate that we couldn’t all be in the same place at the same time; what a world that would be.
