Qualia

Come up with a crazy business idea.

I took a stroll down the lane of memories I’ve gathered throughout the years 

And stumbled upon a time that truly mattered to myself and my peers 

I said, “This may make you laugh or scoff

But the art in society’s heart is falling off 

And we’re about two L’s away from being in hell 

However, I have an idea for us all to excel 

As of today, we’re all individual brands 

But we’ll all hold each other’s hands 

For the sole purpose of strengthening a bigger cooperation 

As we make profits we’ll fill that company’s pockets with donations 

That company will provide for our long-term goals 

If you want to pull out, then we’ll pay you back in portions in order not to put us in a hole 

With painters, poets, actors, directors, singers models, and even authors 

We’ll support one another by being barters 

We’ll exchange favor for favor

No unreasonable demands or shady behavior 

Each exchange must be negotiated, contracted, and paid 

Even if you leave, you must honor the deal you made”

Then came the marketing and overall plans to build out a unified community 

These plans were admired almost as much as it faced scrutiny 

It was labeled as overally optimistic, so we never gave it a try 

I cherish this memory because this is how I met Firefly 

I admired her willingness to march forward out of her comfort zone 

Despite her fears and concerns she made every moment her own 

I began to wonder if someone like that would fight the same for someone she loves 

And I’m proud to say she does
