(Poetry) this lovely world

This world,
this lovely world,
this world of hopes and dreams…
Can we pretend,
just for a while,
that all is as it seems?
My fear is that,
when next I blink,
it all will fall apart…
and all this art,
this lovely art,
is naught but a facade
to cover up
the sickly rot
infesting this world’s heart.
