Oh What a Perfect World!

Always wanting to right the wrongs, singing the lyrics of fixing songs,
Perfectionism stares in its perfect mirror, struggling to ignore the perfect sinner!
Placing endless plasters on gaping wound, with fairytale endings the youth is crooned,
But still the perfect eyes see a perfect world, veiled in lies lest the truth unfurled.
We are those with perfect sight, that only see the world in black and white.
The price is too high for us to pay, to see the world in a shade of grey.
And fountains of Vegas invade our dreams, with gold lined sheets with endless seams,
And we play all day with numerical precision, to hide any sign of our indecision.
Nature is wrapped in a man made presentation, as Nature presents its newest generation,
And mocks the hands that tried to bind, as it furthers progression of each of a kind.
We are those with perfect sight, that only see the world in black and white.
The price is too high for us to pay, to see the world in a shade of grey.
We chase our perfect means of defense, and ignore the faults and the Seismic dents!
Our egos are perfect as our plans unfold ,leaving radiated offerings labelled unsold!
And we growl at the dictator to leave the land, ignoring the past as we held his hand.
We claim for his people a hand of protection, yet our eyes see us and our direction.
We are those with perfect sight, that only see the world in black and white.
The price is too high for us to pay, to see the world in a shade of grey.
Guns buy money, money buys guns, governments and dealers share the funds
Oh what a perfect world on which we feed, media watering the deviant seed!
The youth cling on to the fairy tale, where only perfect people prevail
Then comes the voice of reason and thought , the price of a world already bought!
We are those with perfect sight, that only see the world in black and white,
The price is too high for us to pay, to see the world in a shade of grey.

Hi Anna
I love this one very much. The flow and rhyming pattern is very delicate. We don't hear from as much as we might like, but when you do appear,
it is worth the waiting. Thanks for sharing. |

Fantastic write from a brilliant writer that continues to produce time and time again. There is always that wit that you possess in your writing and it really is a joy to take part in. Fierce lines that fly like a dagger.
"Guns buy money, money buys guns, governments and dealers share the funds"
Awesome line and great write |
