DREAMING OF A UNIFIER

If I dream, I desire that which I dream of

If I do not dream, I must be satisfied

But, I do dream

Therefore, I am not satisfied

I dream of one who unites

There must not be a unifier

Because if there was a unifier

I would not be dreaming of one that unites

If the unifier of which I dream of is a leader

Then there must not be any leader

But there are leaders amongst us

Then it stands to reason that

None of these leaders must be the unifier

So who is a unifier

Is he or she born yet

Is he of my generation

Is she a child of the information age

Maybe there is a leader

Who is also a unifier

But we do not recognize him

Maybe he has not exposed himself to us

Is there such a leader amongst us

The answer to these questions

I must say I do not know

For if I knew then I would not be dreaming

But I am dreaming

And thus, since I am dreaming

And I am not satisfied

And no current leader is a unifier

Then it stands to reason

When a unifier appears she will be a leader

I will then be satisfied

And I will no longer dream
