Societal Terms

Ignorance at work Such is rumors I plead as if you rake offense to this I beg out of sorrow For it is not intent to upset But state What is the typical truth As seen through the teenage eyes My age may be a teen But my sight has lasted many life times Is all I will state As my words are my symphony From another realm In which you do believe me I welcome you to this words of my symphony Societal has fallen to its need of comformity Ive seen this tale play out I fear it’s the same story We destroy what was given to us To create a better world We destroy what has helped us To make it “better” Yet so blindly We don’t see the other side We destroy Not only that but a bit of what makes a Mortal man We see the environment getting destroyed What do we do about Oh We tweet about how we are gonna fix it later But we don’t get it The later may not be here We are in the moment so much We are blind to the rest We are faced with Survival for now Or survival for longer The choice will be chosen By the hand Of humanity

This is so sad but the norm in a world gone mad. Your poem makes the reader wonder who is really insane. Really nice poem.

Very powerful subject matter and I agree if only people would wake up we might stand a chance.
