Political World by Dylan's Political World

They say
Beyond the suspension bridge
Lies paradise
But beneath the bridge
I see people who fell
Even though they walked straight
They say
A comfortable life awaits across the bridge
Yet some are shaking the bridge
Making it impossible
To believe in eternal safety
Among those who attempt to cross
None guarantee the bridge's safety
And voices indifferent to the happiness
Said to be on the other side
Are disregarded
Why
Are they so fixated on the suspension bridge?
Why
Even though it's just reaching the other shore
Do our
Feet
Tremble?
