I love a good puzzle, don’t get me wrong
It keeps my mind healthy and hopefully strong
The largest puzzle I have ever seen
Is the destruction of a utopian dream
Why do we always shoot ourselves in the foot
Why keep anxiety inside, remain moot
I blame it on parents, especially those older
Blindly accepting and not questioning bolder.

This is my first attempt at this challenge and find I had trouble keeping it to 60 words, but hope it’s acceptable. Thanks!
