MacroMicroCosm Literary & Art Journal Magazine - Superheroes, Volume 6, Issue 1

In this issue

We need heroes. A hero wielding a pen is a harsh animal. Twice given to instincts, open as a shield-less Spartan. A superhero does not attack without cause. It is the duty of heroes to discover the sides of every argument, and with fairness and compassion, find the best path. Mythic people, who go through turmoil and come out not as jaded ‘realists’ cursing the names of the passionate young and stubborn elders. Eternal idealists, who pick up, dust off, and give utopia one more go.
There is always cause to push back and refine our bridge to a utopic world. Division will never bring healing and peace to the globe.
Is the best we have to offer division? We began this issue with a poster of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebrating multiple cultures, and creating equal opportunity for all cannot also wash out the myriad of patterns which inspire our world. We must create a global culture of equal opportunity, while maintaining universal human rights, and allowing for the celebration of many cultures.
We share the personal opinions of readers, who wrote into Plan Utopia. These opinions are the property of the original writers.
I know seeing disparate opinions can make some readers uncomfortable.
The first piece to rectification is awareness of outside perspectives. Once we hear these opinions, we can with compassion, discuss them. Open them up and reveal them for what they are. Educate some, encourage others, until we discover how best to shift the world we have to the world we want.
Beyond Plan Utopia, we have poetry by Almirah Al Wassif with How the Rooster Taught Us Love & Sapha Burnell’s Chaos Machines and the People Who Buy Them. R.L. Arenz III runs double-duty by hitting us in the jaw with Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Today I was a Superhero.
