Low Society

What have we become?
A world full of “righteousness”?
On the wrong spectrum of pride
Delving into depths of nothingness
Acting as if there is/was substance there

What have we become?
A species lost in emotions?
A world full of tabloid dreams?
Making good on others misfortune
Acting out their best dramatic scenes of oblivion

Oh, How so many love to see people rise
So they can knock them down, Oh, so far down
Straight down into society’s sewage
Throwing fecal words at them
Laughing like pompous rulers
Ruling the world with a urinated fist
Punching innocence in it’s once undefeated eyes

Oppression is manmade
Cutting hearts open, with a smile
As their ego wielding knife impales common sense
Deriving to the next generation in line
To march to the beat of the pauper’s drum
While awaiting for those to rise and then succumb
To the pity pattern cries
Of tragedy’s seduction
Where the victims lay ignored
Wallowing, Descending down
Into their very own personal
Six feet hole of chemical defeat

So now they, Society mourns
And the news can break in with
The story of the “weak”
Gloom sells , The media rejoices
In the sacrificial celebration
Of their sweeping week

Christmas comes whenever
They conjure it up with their own hypocrisy
But they are fed with the special gift of ratings
So they inspire for more

Damage is so very popular
When it never effects them

What have we become?
High tech cavemen with no direction
Or we would have destroyed this disease from spreading

Oh, How the truth hurts
But who wants honesty?
When it never sells
Not them. Why would they?
You can never discipline a spoiled rotten child

Society, How can you be so vile?
