Path Of Destruction

A road to nowhere is all they construct He who blindly follows will self-destruct We awaken at dawn just to suffer For many, life couldn’t be any tougher Their dark cunning plans brought to light The road to dystopia now glaringly bright No real care for our sons and daughters The evidence is in the poisoned waters Treasured values slowly erode away Degrading further day after day People are just sacrificial pawns To the maniacal of societies higher echelons Billions spent to find that cancer cure Trillions more needed, my good sir A doctor’s visit may set you right Treat your symptoms for the next fortnight To a violent world they gravitate The hidden hand doesn’t hesitate, The deceived are marched off to war To adorn their brothers in blood and gore This digital age is one big prison cell No more coins to drop in the wishing well Just another languishing, unanswered dream That, unfortunately, one cannot redeem
