A free verse poem about the kind of reality we live in and how our world would be without any chaos.

If the world

was neat and spotless

without any emotional trash,

everyone would feel

as fresh as washed fruits and veggies.

The world

is a foul place

from time to time,

because of all

the psychological rubbish

that’s constantly being thrown

at others.

If the world

was like an immaculate, luxurious mansion,

people would always

be hopping and bopping

in joy and contentment.

The world we reside in

is like a dilapidated house

that’s so stinky and filthy

that people are always

tip-toeing in fear and worry.

The world

needs a serious

operation cleanse.

After the massive clean up,

we’d be squeaky clean,

no deaths, no casualties, no emotional scars, no illnesses.
