The Figment of Utopia

Utopia: an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect.
          ~Oxford Languages

Achieving Utopia is not possible,
It exists outside the realm of Reality.
Reality is the great unstoppable,
In the end there is no amnesty.
No matter how strong the fantasy 
Death holds the ultimate captaincy 
To the end of our life's journey.
Utopia is a figment that ends with alacrity.
The end is inescapable, coming to us swiftly,
Without exaggeration, in the blink of an eye.
