UTOPIA

UTOPIA

It always was a pipedream
A state offering perfection
Maybe these days, a meme
Sent in the wrong direction

A world that appears ideal
All so happy, and at peace
But shock at the big reveal
When the fantasy will cease

It’s still an imagined reality
Despite those wishing it so
Yet we can say with finality
It’s back to the ward we go

'Ward D,' I presume. Gotta get on that flight to the Cuckoo's Nest now. ~ Enjoyed, thanks, Gershon
