We’re Not Perfect

Utopia is but a dream

With multicolored feathers

That flitter as they flutter

Through a phosphorescent night.

No qualms, no trepidation,

Only peaceful coexistence, 

So lovely to envision,

So fleeting in the light.

 

Alas, we are not perfect.

We can never know this Shangri-La,

This paradise of worldly wealth

Where pure nirvana touches all.

 

The best that we can hope for is

A land of opportunity where

Each on each might have a voice

And all may share the waterfall

Where none need fear the tyrant’s rage

And no voice need be still,

Where kindness, hope and charity

Are wealth to compensate the bill.
