Our Perfect Crumbling World

Let there be peace,
like the waters in Greece.
Let this be home,
like the streets of Rome.
Let there be fairness,
like the stores in Pairs.
Actually,
let's skrew our heads on straight,
and take control of our fate.
We live in a fantasy world,
where truth and fact are swirled.
Our world is not perfect,
but none of us are willing to forfeit.
We won't give up food,
for a child we never knew.
We won't give up money,
for a cause far from funny.
We expect others to fix our problems,
someone else needs to pull the people out of slums.
But there is nobody left,
when we each sit back and expect.
It time to deal with our problems and grow up people,
because we are not on an Earth that is fair, equal or peaceful.
We have to fix our imperfections,
or we are gonna get caught in some serious perplexions.
All of our success built strong and proud,
will someday come crumbling down, hard and loud.
