The year twenty twenty offers perfect vision
however if voters expect perfect results
even a perfect world can't cure myopia
yes the best is always yet to come but to get
even through the front door we must knock to see if
another possible world where we imagine
right-wing politics own up to their fascist roots
trouble is left-wing groups deny their communist
worldview as too extreme in practice when theory
even across blueprints dismayed both architects
noting concrete buildings in Soviet era
tried and true housing plans and false historians
yesterday's true bright minds with foresight in vision
to conquer the problem of civil war bloodshed
worrisome issues like forced starvation torture
even dictatorships without end and bread lines
noble as a concept each communist dream failed
to realize theory and practice don't align
yet back to the blackboard with more talk of praxis
only the fascist dream fell apart after war
forecast domination to spin on its axis
for nearly thirty years and disappear behind
every little splinter faction across Europe
restless to gain control over the continent
silly neo-Nazi rallies take place in Germany
pretend we could solve world hunger poverty
even weather patterns that only forecast doom
realize the future where we all help others
for to allow failure as an option to choose
even as such choices came from bad decisions
children and young adults make early on in life
terror anxiety trauma and depression
very much set out sights too low to rise above
in our need to succeed we seek to redefine
success in terms of self instead of with others
indeed competition hasn't any losers
only winners who train against their past results
not to outdo themselves but to correct mistakes
