May 2019
Bred in a world where your worth is measured
In diamonds and pearls
Pick and choose based on what material you use
Where possessions takes you farther than moxie
The world goal set to race for more
Hypocrisy becomes a norm
Genuine gestures taken advantage
Laugh at those who care
Tyrants have been deemed fair
Global hate is seen as culture
Sad to speak out
Cut throats ready to put you down
Head in the sand
While they take food from your kids mouths
Thank them for it every 4 years
Poison switched for the cure
Humble beginnings have become obscured
Not true you yourself
Don’t call it honest you’re just insecure
