Is It Real

What is this world we thou live in? What is this life we are thou livin? One soul is dying with every verse The values of life are now submersed Nothing to look up to, nobody cares As the richer get richer on their own shares This glorious absence of ****en respect Has lost its meaning, what’s there to expect? People in terror others object Others are there to exist and be checked Hate, Greed, Abuse is all happening now Watch as all life is cut with a plough Is there any hope for a better tomorrow? Or are we entrenched in our own sorrow? Perhaps there is a crevice of light A beacon of hope for all that is right

Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train but in your case I hope it isn't
