We have made such a world

Out of our blocks

Filled it with windows

Doors, keys, and locks

We fill all these buildings

With conjured up meaning

Pretending they're not swaying

Breaking or leaning

We keep building higher

Skyscrapers of hope

And hide all these things

We don't want to know

I took a trip to Washington D.C. last week and I was able to see all of our great buildings we have made.
