Too Much Power
Wrong hands
Write your lines.
How about no.
Drying of young age,
Well, that really shows!
What we value nowadays
Our skills, our talents
Sell on eBay
We give up ourselves
For a dollar fifty
Yeah, that includes our virginity
And some skittles
Because you know I hate riddles
The tricks of the youth
And the media follows suit
Saying be this and that
Your too skinny and you're too fat
Your too cunning, your too bold
Ha look at him, going 20 and he`s going bald
Well what if I told you that`s the problem
No one should have the power to tell
How others think
What to say and to drink
Advertisements
That’s the size of it
To buy Cola or Pepsi
These decisions make me sick
Can
We
Just
Knuckle down
Face the problems of the people
That really matter now?
Instead of playing hungry, hungry hippos
With stocks and appearances?
As people watch the latest cat post
And forget about the brain-numbing parasite
And that we are the host.
The Fish of the Sea.

This has a really nice message. I agree, this society needs to fix up its way of judgment. I like how the stanzas are built, it really brings out some parts of this poem:)
Awww thanks so much Mira! It's a shame to think that this kind of thing will never change due to popular culture. Your kind words mean so much though, takes me ages to get the structure right. But I must admit the hardest part is finding a song to pair it with! Pecae and smiles. I'm glad you liked my work
Wow! A great write that tells us how it is and thankfully pulls no punches.
Thank you The fish of the sea for writing and sharing .
Take care and I wish you well.
Awww thanks so much Shaun! Yes, I like to talk about society and its problems. I really take the effort not to offend or create argument! Because that's somthing that the internet definitely doesn't need. I'm really glad you liked this one. Smiles and best wishes also. Fish
Lovely write, I really connect with the issues you have addressed here. Well done for writing in such a honest and easy flowing way.Â
5 stars xx
Awww again thanks so much. But yes, seems to me as we will never be able to solve these issues... I'm really glad you liked the flow! It takes ages to try and get the balance of the poem right and I dont always achieve the intended effect. Smiles and peace. That you again. The Fish of the SeaÂ
