Society

Society 

Like a cold clap in the dark you lit a spark of what I was waiting for
 You hide behind the false hidden garb of compromise can't you see the lies
 Having long hanging viscious fangs to frighten each other
 A line is being drawn in the sand when will we understand
 The pusher on the street knows to well the score is in sight
 All of the money is tight waving empty beer can to cash them in
 A solo of sorts to summon the eager minds that plug destruction
 To get food stamps & disability insurance in you pocket
 Burning flags in the presence of the socially elite doomed to repeat
 A challenge to be set free is a question of time my one solution is using mind
 We work in the factory laboring for that legal tender
 While pulling out of the grocery store you get a busted fender
 One needs a heart saturated with truth to stand the test of time
 Standing in line at the D.M.V. kind of bothers me
 We as a society have treasured a rose that was sent before us
 Send the troops home there is no good reason for them to roam
 The casualties are enormous for a stated cause that's plain atrocious
 Merciful one come take this chip off my shoulder stop the senseless fighting
 Yet are nation grows a bit colder from all the anxiety from within
 Another chance a which to begin again stop the riots in the street
 With abortion as a plan when will we be able to understand
 A fetus is a living breathing human being inside not some instant jello
 Society is filled with people that hate that is their lasting fate
 Become a beacon of hope to a lost world in need of love
 This true expression of faith is sent to us from only God above
