The breeze perfected this summer day, and delighted the organisers of the largest music festival the world has seen. The only question remaining was who would come, and how many. The whole world had been informed of it, and everyone wished to be there. Even the top artists from around the world were fighting each other to get a spot on the set list, willing to play for free, and some even offering to pay to play. The organiser’s wouldn’t accept the money, but they were encouraged to see the forcefulness with which the artists tried to enter.

The event was called Ubuntu and was the cutting edge of a revolution in arts, entertainment, and even societies. Ubuntu was unlike any event of the past, for it’s price for admission required that you own nothing but the clothes on your back. The paparazzi raked in their pay checks with shots of celebrity after celebrity being denied entry. Even some politicians tried to enter as well, before cowering away from sight. For the first time, the rich felt incapable of payment, while the poor felt rich beyond belief. The homeless, refugees, and youth walked right in, as long as they gave away their phones to someone else first. The best count for the moment is 10,000,000 in attendance, with 500,000,000 live streaming mostly from the poorest regions of the world.

Experts fear that this has sparked a breakdown in the world economy, and is expected to shake the powers at be, with thousands of restaurants, BnB’s, and other businesses offering this same pricing, it seems it won’t be long before the legal battles begin.

Exploring absurdity to find reality. To be chewed not consumed. If the meaning seems obvious, read it again. Then discuss with friends or enemies.
