Life In a Perfect World
My world, my utopia, could be yours
A world of love amidst all jealous
An impossible situation made possible by effort
A political scenario is an unchangeable reality
And so is life and cruel death
But within my enclosure it is possible
'The big fish eat the small fish',
We've heard since we learnt to read
If all small fish are well fed
Hunger and human predators evaporate slowly
At arm's length shared sorrows halves miseries
My soul is at peace and guiltless
The purpose of my life is fulfilled
