A World of Our Own

   Yesterday, I read a sweatshirt that said, "You Deserve the World!"

Do we, really? I mean the idea of some people deserving a world is literally depressing, some people can't manage a house, let alone a world. I don't deserve a world,  POS that I am. 

What would I do with a world? Would it be sunshine and verdant fields, unicorns and fairies, women in veils and men in leather and metal astride a horse. Me, in my little forest cabin, friend to all, known throughout the land as a gentle grandfather of sorts?

Maybe it would dystopian, dark skies and fiery mountains, dragons and great hunting cats, women in hareems and a few men in labor camps in chains. Would I keep myself apart from my minions, alone in my dark keep on the side of a volcano high above the jungle floor? Or would my palace surrounds the only water for miles in the high desert, the fortress "manned" completely by women?

What sort of world would the likes of me make? Desolate or swampy? Dark or gloomy? Chaotic or quiet?


Not everyone deserves a world...
