I'd have an open immigration policy for everyone who wishes:
every single weapon would evaporate into minute droplets in the ecosystem
and cleanse the earth of all the past injustices, human suffering and humiliation.
I'd send boats on a global mission
to rescue all the people who need protection,
and issue passports to anyone who wants to live in a safe space -free of hatred.
I'd deploy a million apache helicopters to air lift the weak and the homeless and make a public announcement that would drown out the police sirens
My radio transmission would short circuit the ipods of adolescents
escaping life's pressures
to reassure them my island welcomes all of humanity who value:
diversity,
dream of uncontaminated rivers,
imagine a society where drugs are eradicated and education is unlimited,
gasp in awe of everything that is created,
show overwhelming affection toward children,
refuse to lift a hand when they loose patience,
put human well-being before self-interest,
aren't motivated by profit or concerned about incentives for pharmaceutical corporations,
abhor war and every thinkable form of violence,
detest racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, and ableism
and desire another world where love is no longer vacated of meaning
but teems with substance.
If I had an island...
