Poor Propaganda

Our society's full of poor propaganda,
Everyone fighting to be the alpha!
Happy to fight wars that cost billions;
Yet won't support the civillans;
Numerous are forced onto the street;
More don't have enough to eat.

Our society's full of poor propaganda,
Everyone fighting to be the alpha!
Living costs has really increased,
But the economy has strongly decreased;
Welfare systems have gone down;
Causing people pain and to frown.

Our society's full of poor propaganda,
Everyone fighting to be the alpha!
A world still full of discrimination;
Causing trillons complete devestation;
Gays, blacks, muslims, jews you can abhor;
Society turns a blind eye and will ignore.

Our society's full of poor propaganda,
Everyone fighting to be the alpha!
Social media rules our teens,
All addicted to their screens;
Looks are what matter, 
Causing many to shatter.

Our society's full of poor propaganda,
Everyone fighting to be the alpha!
Another issue is global-warming; 
And the sheer amount of self-harming
It's absurd, triany, I’m in dismay,
What’s wrong with the world today?

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.
