What has society become...

Where a birthmark is considered a stain against beauty
And we keep our voices silent, afraid to defend the weak,
where people cheer on violence, just because it's the easier route.
We've created isolation within crowds from bytes on a screen,
created complete violation of privacy from ones and zeroes
without realising that it's always been partially for nought, zero.
We've sat silently by while our friends beat on each other with words
that could **** the broken and the words spoken differ from words heard.

We've handed death in a bottle to those who sought it,
instead of providing the care and help they needed
because it was easier to coat emotions in pills
than help a person climb an emotional hill.

We've painted portraits of war, labelled it as history
Coated clear conscience with tangent trivial ties;politics
run rampant on our psyche and we judge people as items
pushing purchasing prices for those who hold quality.

My only best guess is to just hit reset
because the bigger picture hasn't been taken yet.
