The Perfect Universe

The Perfect Universe

By Frank Bolaji Irawo

The universe so benevolent,

Perfect as can be

May not serve up what you want

But you'll get just what you need

That pretty much is the point

To expose the delusion

That it panders to how

You think it should be

Billions of years in the making

Pregnant with the treasure of endless wisdom

You presume to give it

A piece of your own mind

It is here to present you

The opportunity

To Discover the true you

The essence of your innate brilliance

To break the falsehood of a fixed self

Ever resisting and constricting

To embrace the totality of all possibilities

Experiencing the full spectrum of your being
