Detox Me From This World

Obsessions and vanities False lovers, calamities Misfortune and shame Our world’s sinister game The more you have the more you need, Fixing your eyes on possessions and greed. Stab your neighbor through their eye So they are blinded by your lie. Keep all busy and far from home So children are left to roam alone, Murdered by the age of eighteen What do you expect when your world is creating machines? Assembly lines are still in effect, Just this time it’s your soul they require you to check, Loyalty fades through each generation, Yet we wonder why so many are filled with manipulation. Take a pill, for Everything As long as you perform, conform and bring Take no time to share or care Just as long as at 7am you are there. Smiles are perceived as suspicion, Our mouths are ammunition. While each group gets worse We embrace societies curse. For intellect now rules Yet, technology has created fools Dependent on everything else Except God and ourselves Detox me From deep within For this war is something I will win The shallowness of daily faces Leads my spirit into dry places, Detox me From former foes, For their webs were spun and I didn’t know, Their empty hearts that cannot understand me, Leads my soul to cry out to thee. Detox me! Detox me! from this world. By: Sabina Nicole Written:4/5/12
