We live to learn
None stop, from day one
A purpose of survival we need to earn
Addicted to our culture
A false note given birth to by nature
The irony of hope, it sometimes lead to failure
They say perfection is a myth
Yet we are being held to that standard till death
One version of reality we despise is ‘truth’
Every culture’s nightmare is change
Thus, to be perfect, I cannot remain the same
A satire to the mind can only open the brain
