Post Modern Society

The forlorn look upon humanity’s face 
Weary eyes ravaged by pervasive depravity 
Societal treachery weighing upon an exhausted soul 
Insidious indecision poisoning resilience 

Observing the pre-meditated mass murder of compassion 
With horrific hesitation and sickening silence 
Stagnant and catatonic with indifference 
Immobile and and psychologically paralyzed 

Transfixed upon a whim 
To adhere to gridlock 
To embrace the virus as the norm 
And succumb to its degeneracy
