"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."-John Lennon


Come with me, my dear,
And See God’s hands at work.
The Universal Craftsman,
Endlessly chiseling away at the greenery,
Eventually creates Paradise.
However, it is always in flux.
This green empire rises and falls
As the seasons endlessly pass.
This is just the Craftsman at work,
Trying to fashion what, in His mind,
Is the perfect imperial society.
The wisest of humans fail
To create the “perfect” world
Because we fail to realize
That perfection lies in imperfection
Within the Green Empire.

I was sitting in Biology class watching an episode of Planet Earth and I had this idea about the constant change in nature in comparison to the constant change in humanity's "ideal" society.
