A Pessimist's Reality

by mak-waddle

They all laugh You know better than anyone The way they exclude everyone The way they declared you were no one It rips at you Tears at you from the inside They decide who belongs on the outside They're so high and mighty They say you're feisty Make you feel tiny In reality their thrones are slimy Slimy from the blood of those they abused The ones they used The ones they left confused Bruised But the others refused They refused not to look the other way They wouldn't say They wouldn't stand and describe the crimes They wouldn't say just how many times People were destroyed It's a topic they avoid They don't care that you're annoyed It isn't your place Denied your case Still others said they'd stand up for you But it's only lies they spew Furthering the cause Not wrapping you in gauze Gauze to heal the wounds The high and mighty caused You feel lost Wave-tossed The truth is glossed Society turns to mold They try to say it's gold You may not be old But you know the cold You find it sad How sadistic they are How pessimistic you are How far gone we all are This is the end Society's gone 'round the bend No hope Clean up this mess I don't know anybody with enough soap They except you to cope
