Drift Away
We can point out the flaws
They surround like broken laws
Criminal intent always abounds
Egoists in fashion wearing crowns
Crowns that appear polished
Crowns that appear clean
But don’t believe your eyes
This is only what you’ve seen
The worst appears the best
The best appears the worst
We live in a world
Where cheaters come first
We do nothing to change
Sit idly by
Yet when things don’t go our way
We quickly question why?
Traits once favored
No longer abound
Genuine and honest people
Wondering in the lost and found
Used to search for the path less traveled
But now we follow a beaten path
This pattern will continue
We all await the aftermath
But what will come?
We weren’t shown the consequences
We act like we want to improve
But only break mended fences
