Depression

DEPRESSION has become the theme in our society,
stemming from financial impropriety,
The custodians of our world have created impossible
odds, making most citizens to feel like forlorn sods,

DEPRESSION sets in and people begin to fade,
Some are suffering from withdrawal symptoms
from career accolades,

It wears its victims down making them drained
and irritable, spinning out of control until they recoil,
Moments in time where positive energy gets sapped,

The only known cure might be light therapy,
but, the truth is, if most folks got their grove back,
They would be very happy!
