A Reflection on Imperfection

The idea of a utopian society is incredibly ideal,

yet living life upon the Earth

involves accepting what is real,

and by taking the time to reflect,

people could do so much more

than anyone would ever expect

without any form of neglect,

and through the desire to inspire

as well as reform,

the world within itself would hopefully transform

if people were to defy the norm,

and by shining as bright as light

from the glory of the golden sun,

and imperfectly perfect human being

could create a compelling story

as well as appreciate

living without perfection
