SOCIETY: A Poem

LYRICS

Hopeless & jaded
Creativness faded
Still wide awake but my empathy’s wasted

What more could I want?
With abundance of faces
To laugh at
To pray to
But still I feel shaded

Is this how it works?
It’s really outdated
Work 'til you die & the industry "thanks" it

“You’re doing so well”
To get a gold star?
"We won’t pay you much
But keep working hard!"

“A little bit more,”
then surely you’ll make it.
Beware cause your boss already forbade it

Is this what we want?
Dystopian nation?
Now get back to work
And Never forsake it.

God oh my god,
How The system is broken.
We pray to a god that can’t be outspoken.

If this is his will,
If this is his way,
How could you believe
that the suffering made

Can never be wrong?
Then oh what a shame.
The promise of love continues to break and

Don’t get me wrong,
Believe what you may,
The problem I see that Is our big mistake is

Relying on those
Who drown in their faith.
They reap what they sow
So results complicate

With Property, growth,
Interest by the bank,
And Racist foundation for history’s sake,

And the Female commodity,
Laws for her body,
(No good for the office
lest she greets the lobby)

And The price that we pay
For minimum wage.
Society is fucked
'til we get all get a say.

So stand up for your own
Or You’re kidding yourself
Thinking you sit on the 1% shelf.

Make few a mil and
then we can talk
But now you’re just voting
against your own cause.

They want you to think
That you’re one of them
But to tell you a secret,
They don’t want you in.

I know it’s upsetting
You’re down the wrong road, but
They want you that way
To buy all your votes

So Love one another
Be humble, be sober.
The system will change
Cause united, it’s over.
