The world is full of humor, happiness and wonder.
The world is also doomed by ridiculous amounts of greed, hypocrisy and suffering.
Here, the two interact in harmony.

Ready For The Real World

Estimated reading time: 24 seconds

They sit through the entire commencement.
And with a final word,
Students are dismissed for the last time.
After sixteen years, school is over.
It is a fleeting moment so pure, so exuberant.
Graduates, accomplished and uncontained,
Send their caps blissfully into the air.
But one keeps his on
To protect himself from falling caps.
