Analysis of A Simple Truth
Imagine the Universe
the reason that we all live
with endless imperfections
creating beautiful life.
Now imagine out planet
and it's intelligent song
with it's perfect life cycles
that keep nature going strong.
But something doesn't sit right
about the picture above
perhaps that nothing's perfect
along with pretty green earth.
Yet we all seem to attempt
this unreasonable toll
with only great intentions
and an admirable goal.
Some people simply don't see
and end up finding blame
when there simply can't be guilt
in a strictly Godly aim.
