Flawed

Flawed is a system that feeds the rich by starving the poor.
Flawed is a mind that chooses to ignore.
Flawed is a reason given to encourage hate.
Flawed is a promise made far too late.

Flawed is a love that dies before it’s given a chance to live.
Flawed is the culture born of greed.
Flawed is a captive soul refusing to leave.
Flawed is a dream that fools reality.

Flawed is a dance inflamed by dark desire.
Flawed is the man who always sees himself as higher.
Flawed is the pain of regret held in memory.
Flawed is the state of our broken humanity.

The only thing not flawed is your penmanship. Well done.
