Observed Realities

I look around and what I see
A world built on war not peace
Conform, comply or be deceased
We will not fight, morale decreased

This is what I have come to observe
The commodity you choose is the god you serve
The power it possesses is beyond all words
A competitive game defining our worth

No argument I hear can ever justify
We watch people suffer, we watch them die
Victims of simply believing a lie
Those ignored, to whom we don't provide

Living in complete ignorant bliss
The majority of you will bypass this
Blinded by the sweet materialistic kiss
Can't be bothered by that which you've missed

'The commodity you choose is the god you serve'. Utterly TRUE! I can only hope, that the commodity I choose is Love! Very perceptive.
