“But cheer up. Who could have imagined What the world is really like When we were children? We’re old now, but in spite of all we learned, So much of it dreadful and scary, even Petrifying, We gave Life Our best shot. Perfection will have To wait for the next incarnation. And I mean of the world, not just us.”
