In This Imperfect World

In this imperfect world where man eats man If you are so humanitarian in word and deed And you advocate for complete elimination of poverty Then first make humans living angels In this imperfect world of freedom of conscience If you love your Creator so much and seen visions And you want all humankind to worship one God Then make genetically modified humans in labs In this imperfect world of political cynicism and chaos If you are a party or political fanatic with ideologies And you want all citizens to be members of your party Then first make all citizens irrational things In this imperfect world where virtues and vices exchange seats If you have burning desires to make the world perfect And you say human society must be egalitarian and free Then degenerate flesh and blood from human life
