Sick, Sad Little World

Where are we?
Trapped in this sick, sad world,
Where we turn a blind eye to the madness,
Where little boys think they’re little girls.
Where racism runs wild,
And we don’t quite feel safe,
I ask God for answers,
So we can find a better way.
What is really wrong?
Maybe there’s something in the air?
Maybe the decrease of the trees,
The oxygen our brains need just isn’t there.
Where the President is the most radical of them all,
And isn’t afraid to show it,
And no matter the display of his tyranny,
Foolish people will still follow this.
Where women hate each other without reason,
Where men kill and prey on the weak,
Where depression is on a rise,
And the anxiety is at its peak.
Where everything MUST be posted for likes...
Instagram and Snapping...
Meanwhile missing out on all the moments just to show the world,
Because if you don’t... well, I guess it didn’t really happen.
Where we ALL want to be rich and balling,
As if that will fill some sort of void,
Where if someone mistakenly bumps you or looks at you too long,
This disconnection from humanity will leave us annoyed.
Poor little world, where everyone thinks they’re smarter than the next,
Where ignorance is blissful and the Devil never rests.
Where fathers abandon their children,
And the mothers punish them for it,
Where we’re so caught up in the bullshit that we forget what’s really important.
Where we’re too busy to meditate,
And we’re destroying all of the nature,
Where if we speak out against the “norm”, it makes you a hater.
Where suicide is on the rise,
From people who can no longer deal,
Where the rich get richer, while some people are forced to skip meals.
Where the elders have worked all of their lives,
Yet some can’t afford to retire and rest,
Because the “benefits” they receive aren’t enough to live,
So despite being tired, every morning for work they have to get dressed.
Where our jobs don’t pay,
Yet still treat us like modern slaves...
But this is the land of the free they say,
Where our minds are so trapped, we wouldn’t know “free” if it hit us in the face.
