Social Darwinism

Elite on top; below fall the rest Constantly competing for who is the best Smartest, strongest, who’s the most cool Society transforms you into a tool Who’s the most popular; who’s got cool hair When in reality the world does not care Who’s got the best looks; who’s got the best grades Who’s wearing the designer shades Who’s the biggest; who’s the strongest Who’s image will last the longest Who’s the richest and who has all the toys The hottest chicks get all the boys The strongest men get all the girls They flock to them with golden curls If you’re not the best at something You are no one and you mean nothing Why is this the way society thinks? Egos grow while others shrink Those who are different are labeled “weird” And their ideas are to be feared The strong will last; the weak die out With no one to hear them cry out Everyone chasing the American Dream But that dream is dead; too far downstream Is this the way it has to be? In society’s trap and never free? When we are all humans one-in-the-same Running through life and playing its game For at the end there is no prize For how high in the ranks you rise Everyone just fades away Into the light of another day So, I won’t be defined by society Social Darwinism means nothing to me
