Society

Society

Keep spending.
Keep buying.
Meanwhile mother earth is dying,
the grateful are crying.
It's gotten to the point that people have given up trying,
It's easy to dismiss these issues
in fact it's soothing,
this is a wake up call
but instead people keep snoozing
and the blood from the earth is metaphorically oozing.

Dictatorships, Democracies,
the governments a mockery,
people living in poverty,
barely paying for basicΒ commodities
wealth distributed improperly.

This is the reality of it all,
this is the truth,
elaborating on the works of Charles Booth.
Bills for the parents rocketing through the roof,
subsequently a rocky childhood for the youth.
This is a nightmare that we cant wake up from,
an inevitable destiny that we are already set for.
