Flawed Existence Dividends

Nubs and dents and chips and strings
                 Imperfect world that burns and stings
Dings and scratches, holes and bends
                       Those flawed existence dividends


Cuts and bruises, broken bones
                            People that the world disowns
Paupers, cowards, plagues and kings
                          Imperfect world of many things

So very apropos for the world in which we live today. Nothing is perfect, and by far we humans are not. Your rhyme and cadence are faultless, so maybe some things can be perfect after all.

So true Mike, there is so much wrong with this world, and mankind seems to make it worse with his stupidity. Tom
