This Perfect World
This isn’t a test.
I hope you can see
I’m acting cheery
But really, we aren’t free
You think this is perfect?
That our world is perfect?
Well, take a closer look.
Maybe you’ll see.
Beneath the bright lights,
We are just like you.
A failing society,
Trying to get back up again.
Do not assume we are in perfect condition.
Perfect condition is only a still reflection of water.
Standing still and silent,
Until someone moves the cup and sloshes the liquid inside.
Our “fantastical” world is not
perfect.
