Wonderful Land

 

  Find a pretty girl. Buy a horse, a white horse, put pretty girl at the back of the horse and ride to there.

  There, it is the land with no borders. Yes, even there people lives, just ordinary people, same like you.

  No idea what ordinary people looks like.

  There, it is the land with the open doors. There you can be who you are.

  But who wants to be, who you are?

  Where is there?

  I have got no clue.

  But it is not here. I don’t have to think about that, thank you! All those miserable looking faces. In those houses where even the neighbours

  can not get any inspiration anymore. Wallpaper with Jingdesigns, painted colours number Ba 47-1, a Lolita Art & Design kitchen. Very special, the self thinking dishwasher. Happiness for sale over here; look in the catalogue yourself laying at the ‘Hall & Oats lounge table’.

  No it is not here. That would surprise me.

  Being there, if you ask me, everybody wants to. Why we don’t get there?

  Has it something to do with courage, to pull out your neck, the unknown, to know nobody? Family or neighbours with an opinion?

  Maybe I have my own opinion. Just do it.

  Ok, I do so!

  I call pretty girl and ask her to come over.

  From here we build together to get there. There we will be not alone, even though in the minority. Minor is ok there. It is good there.

  Happiness at the back of the white horse in Wonderful Land.

  And so pretty girl is coming to here, with nothing else than hope and trust but without any prejudice.
