Our Conscience

 
The world has gotten ass backwards
In these last couple of years
Whether it’s through politics or greed
Morals have fallen on deaf ears

I’m talking about the ethics of humanity
Which have become so obscure
When the constant suffering of so many
Become profits for the rich assured

And as absurd as that may be sounding
Think how many are hungry tonight
While some shit in their gold commodes
Something just doesn’t seem right

There is a heartless avarice that grows within
When those who have more want more
It consumes their heart, mind and soul
As they watch the poor become more poor

I can’t speak for all the other different faiths
But that’s not what the bible taught me
Helping those who are less fortunate than us
Should be our conscience
Maybe then we can succeed as a society
