Times Changed

I see humans but no humanity

I see a society but no unity

Happiness comes from within

But we all seem to forget

 

Ignorant, naïve

And judging from incompetence

Fighting for peace

Not respecting history

 

Searching for truth

But you've lost your way

No more believers

Forgotten how we got here

 

Looking for freedom

But support the oppressor

Don't accept responsibility

And hope you don't get caught

 

Because you're not really breaking the law

Your conscience is poisonous

Apparently your doing things the right way

Children are dying from illness

But we're complaining about immigrants

 

Stop following public opinion

And separating nations

Just because you're not blind

It doesn't mean you can see

 

Teach your future generation

Less clothes equals beautiful

And white equals superior

Money equals power

 

Divide between the lesser who are inferior

***** hatred and say its dutiful

Who are you trying to fool

We're dropping like flies

 

She killed herself because of cyber bullying

And he's tired of acting strong

Fearing to cry and be ******

Abuse, neglect and poverty

 

Increasing frequently

Morality crisis

Blame the youth and teenage pregnancies

To combat it a genius says let's teach them whilst they're younger

 

Sounds good right?

What about censorship

Safety and protection

Young minds are susceptible

 

Ignore the practice and theories

Pride doesn't let you back down

Blame the rap and rock music

Its preaches violence and hatred

 

Rebel riots and corruption

East and west its affected us both

Greedy bankers

And terrorists or freedom fighters

 

A time of lost trust

And each to their own

Independent battles

No one is connecting the dots

 

Its like global dominoes

Inter connected problems

One leads to another

And the root cause is lost
