What a wonderful world we live in
with snuggling noses and arms wrapped around baby burritos
with strangers who donate stem cells to save strangers
with windows rolled down to hand out change to toothless souls in need
with pantries that give and give and give with no strings attached
with dolphins that swim around divers with sharks
with marines who push cars across flooded streets
with husbands and wives who laugh with each other and gaze at each other’s joy
without the back seen to show the facade of innocence
without the back seen to hide the mask covering guilt
without the back seen to thrust into the flesh unwillingly
without the back seen to remain employed
without the back seen to travel or keep your business
without the back seen to be accepted or hated by all
without the back seen to masquerade a sacrament of salvation
What a wonderful world for those who remain alive
