Life As We Know It

The world is suffering
The cracks appearing
'Powers that be' leering
Humanity is fearing
The corrupt jeering
World poverty looming
Media is deceiving
Plots interweaving
Chests are heaving
Is empathy leaving?
Rich are succeeding
Poverty is exceeding
Consumerism booming
Injustices screaming
Corruption ruling
Politicians plotting
New wars igniting
Leaders justifying
Celebrities transgressing
Lawyers fabricating
Truths are vacating
The lies replacing
When did we stop caring?

Time To Stand

I'm sat watching the news Makes me feel utterly LOST People trying to survive But at what devastating cost. All you see in the world Are wars, hunger, and hate How has this come to BE.

Hypocrisy, Your latest form of democracy Power consumed by the elite Oligarchs on every street Consumerism everyone’s right Rip-off merchants without respite Insane policy to keep us in fear Saying...

My Thoughts

Is Government failing?there's no regulation, searching for a positive outcome but we're constantly paying for others destruction, in our tax we have no reductions, suffering silently behind doors...

Prime Minister

The transparency of you is evident,. You are supposed to be our president,. Okay not president but our prime minister,. Some of your policies are truly sinister,. You really do not have a clue,.

Endure

Certified stranger, Concusions drawn and done. Street side messenger, couldn't care for one. Judgement based on looks, societys true tale. Smirking as they win, laughing as we fail.

Political Prostitution

Thought I'd take some time to really read the proposed constitution. I have never read any before so you could imagine the confusion.

USA

America. We're #1. Or so we say. But we're undone. The United States. Is drowning in debt. Our glory days. We seem to forget. Once so strong. We've fallen apart. It's too late now. We can't restart.
