Reality (Age: 12)

"The world is your oyster," Some wise man once said. This wise man was nuts, What was wrong with his head? The world's a cold place, Which is easy to see; From our cool, mirky waters; To our beautiful, dead trees. They used to talk about soulmates, When love equaled life; Now they murder the husband, Who cheats on his wife. "Every man for himself," That's our new motto now; And try finding a man, That could pray or teach how. "The world is your oyster," Some wise man once said; I wonder if our wise friend, Ever got out of bed.
