I could write the poetry
about my concerns
Inside a society
where no one listens or learns
They would rather fan the flame
and watch it all burn
Take everything in vain
for nothing in return
Leaving little for their children
but tainted water and scorched earth
raised with the belief
in ancient fictional words
Who cant see it as a story
about wisdom pursued
they'd rather sit in ignorance
and see it as a whole truth
In constant dispute
as it all comes unglued
the problems ensue
instead of starting anew
Veils wrapped over their eyes
then they act surprised
when found tangled up in hell
with the decay on the vine
content with the leadership
providing them lies
instead of thinking for themselves
they follow misconstrued ties
provided with the wealth
of being told they're just fine
but you are nowhere near it
and neither am I

I could point out all these matters
that it seems they forgot
but it falls upon deaf ears
afflicted with brain rot.
Lord knows I tried
but why give it another shot
just to be discredited?

I'd rather not
