Modified version of Thom Gunn's "A Map of the City"

My title: "A Map of the Country"

I stand near an abyss and see the long fall below me
I look up and see a sky as blue as can be
I look to the right and see sand dunes and tumbleweeds rolling seemlessly

I look up and see eternal light and hope
I picture the city filled with attractions aimed to cope
With the daily struggles of life
I see a utopia with imperfections, but this country is as good as anyone can hope
I see rolling tumbleweeds and babbling streams, not a sense of struggle or strife is within sight
