Man's Future

I don’t see a bright future for mankind
and wonder if he’ll do much to change
I often blame his laziness
and bearings to his strange

To see him on vacation
and making money key
When knowing that he’ll follow
what others say is free

For wondering what ending
is to thinking he is free
When waiting comes replacing
what was once democracy

And only know that freedom
isn't meant to come to all
When fighting for enjoyment
means that no one fears to fall

That all who follow government
can only say they did
While living for the consequence
that all they did was rid

If Man continues like this, certainly, his future is not certain. Good observations dear Trevor!
