Breaking: Global Inner Children Rescued

Earth: In an unprecedented move
individuals and nations of the world
collectively began critical inner-child work
to address their respective traumas,

resulting in immediate cessation
of military hostilities,

lifting of crippling
economic embargos,

ending toxic rhetoric, and
condemning and halting of all
ethnic cleansing, as well as

acknowledging and stopping all
foreign and domestic terrorism,

leaving only an overwhelming chill vibe
and global economic boon
once everyone realized money was just
an inedible social construct

and all agreed to respect everyone’s
differences and religious beliefs,

and though worship remains optional,
everyone agreed to ignore
any harmful dogma

while following the actual spirit of the
teachings of Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad,
and Leon Jackson, the former transient

who also once yelled at random citizens
about aliens, but not anymore

since homelessness and mental illness
have both been addressed with
nuance and empathy,

raising the quality of life for all,
leading to everyone being
freed to become

the beautiful people
they’ve always wanted to be.
