Modern Society
Ages, eras
Pass on by
in essence
Time flies
But what have we come to
As a society?
Simply falsehoods
And false piety?
Sorrow, hate
Ruined fate
Terrorism, controversy
As of late
Do we really comprehend
The effects of our defects
The implications
Of what we elect
What we elect
For society to accept
What eventually reduces us
To ignorance's depth
From everything now
Today, yesterday, and tomorrow
It seems as though
The default emotion is sorrow
But not all hope is lost
For there is a light
It may be in the distance
But there is one cost
We as a society
Must choose to resolve
Our immorality
We must dissolve
We must vanquish
All hatred and conflict
That we create
And that media depicts
Maybe if we take this
One step at a time
We may step out of this abyss
Out of this paradigm.
