Societal insanity


Ain't it a pity that you hate the city

We argue in terms of omnipresence
Then soon shutter within tears to calm all fears
Out of much vain worry & regret;
A chorus of fellow thespians approach an audience...

Some our easily encouraged to remain on the side of nuetral

Societal insanity marked on its blotted page intact
We made our bed in sin now lay down in it again
A mind is a terrible thing to waste;
Gall on the lips will leave an awful taste...

A casual encounter will leave one speechless to embrace

A knock on the door lest I emplore;
With an outrage on its political scene...
Breaking bread within its cherished glea
A heart filled in truth can overcome any obstacle in life

Many a heart grows both tired & weary

In fashionable decorum with fresh scent of lavender hue
If your slate is clean then you can throw stones
Societal insanity will mark the apathy
Today you have to watch every single word you say

Wile others get away with it anyways
We moved from mainstream right into societal hate breed
Societal insanity!
Men of corrupt minds with evil thoughts that hound

Dreams that so often succumb into desolation
Gone is the age of innocence allotted to fear
Instead we our left with arguments which lead to no big deal!
~

Tormented souls torn skulls pressed for time
Aligned with a fragrance pressed toward violence
In emmense pain still raptured into total silence
Torn

Some may even insist to curse the actual day they were born?
