I would just like to express how this made me feel as an audience. I like the overall theme of people just doing there best as a solution to the evils of the world. Although "One solution" is oddly close to "Final Solution" which was definitely a horrible idea of genocide. And I cant help but draw that to mind when reading your poem haha. The term "well oiled machine" , Im not sure if you were trying to make a literary reference or not , but in case you didn't know that comes from Henry David Thoreau talking about the government in one of his works. Thanks for writing, keep it up
Consider the illusion
that we could make a difference
by offering one solution.
there would be no testing or trial runs,
we would just do our best—
we would stick to our guns.
The world would flow nicely,
like a well-oiled machine.
There would be no sounds of dissension,
we would all pay attention.
Simply
because
we offered the world
one solution.
