Our World

In a place full of technicalities,
And immorality,
Many search for financial immortality,

Few fight feelings of gravity,
Unable to agree with reality,
Another casualty, accepted casually,
Blind faith of causality?

Bad or good,
Yet not so simple,
Sword of shield,
Choice is instrumental,

Black and white, are details,
On track, not derailed,
Subliminal messages make things seem,
But where's the grey area in between?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
