Modern World

November 9, 2011

People are choosing money as their friend,

trampling over other people

in order to tend to their love of materials,

and we wonder why people take from each other

hate each other, manipulate each other,

maybe we should look closer at ourselves.

Not facing the facts

because we don’t want to put rain on our day,

got too many problems of our own its easy to say,

roof over our heads its easy to say.

 

In this modern world we’re censored

from the consequences of our actions

we just cant see,

and if we can we choose to ignore

and live a life trying to justify our selfish reality.

In this modern world we dodge responsibility,

following in the shadows of people

that are holding authority.

But when are we going to wake up and realise

the havoc that we’re bringing about

in our children’s lives?

 

The media is painting a picture of this world

that is out of focus,

even though the majority of us know this

we can only make sense of what we’re told.

To an extent we’re being controlled.

Fashions, ambitions are sold

to pay those who can afford,

while those in poverty are still living

life by the sword.

The next generation looks up to us,

but who are they going to  be able to trust

in this world that we’re creating

fuelled by Satan.

How many brothers do we need to bury

before we see sense in peace?
