Society Fails

Society says there is a certain way to live, Has standards to whom and how we are to love. But why do we follow someone else’s way, If there is apparently only one person to answer to up above. If God loves everyone on this earth, And sees past everything including our flaws. Then why when we don’t adhere to society’s rules, Then we are scrutinized under society’s claws. The outside layer of society seems so nice, Likes to say we are a melting pot of diversity. But deep down there is a certain list of unwritten rules, If you don’t follow them your life is considered as perversity. Certain rules and laws are bent depending on who you are and who you know, We live in a society to which what you have is what your worth. But everyone is equal and you can achieve your dreams, Well that’s what is brainwashed into our heads from birth. Society fails us because it is based on a foundation of lies, Everyone is judge for what they do or say no room for drawing outside the lines. We are convinced if we are different from the “normal”, Then you should pretend to be something your not fearing to step on those society landmines. The fact that some people feel the need to hide a part of who they are, Feeling ashamed for wanting to be themselves and to be a part of society’s proprieties. That’s where society fails we are not open to different lifestyles or peoples choices, But that’s what are one life should be a world filled with choices and varieties.

Great insightful write. Calls for introspection. God who is love himself calls on us to love as He loves. Because some of us, even Christians, as humans, we only love those who love us-and even then,sometimes we do not-(LOL), or people in our little world. We choose who to love-unlike God. It can be hard to love someone with a different lifestyle but we need to look beyond that. This can be done. Thanks for sharing this from your heart, Jessica! Peace, Audrey

I like your message, Jessica. It doesn't make sense to argue who is wrong and who is right when it comes to issues of lifestyles and choices. We as invdividuals just need to live our lives as best we can, I know it's cliche, but what else can we do? Great poem! -Mike
