See Our World Is Slowly Dying

Our children are starving
We are busy fighting obsolete wars
The yearning of the infinite
One must flee the decay and connotations 
Of stagnant self content 
Running up against the wall 
Of nonexistence
Afraid of being thrown back
Into the nothingness
From which we came from
The servile fear of unholy wrath
The filial fear of selfishness
For conscience is not easily silenced
Thus we must refrain from 
Self endowed sovereign inalienable worth
And not assimilate 
To our slowly dying world
And be inclined to change the world 
For greater good
