Society Fails
Society says there is a certain way to live,
Has standards to whom and how we are to love.
But why do we follow someone else’s way,
If there is apparently only one person to answer to up above.
If God loves everyone on this earth,
And sees past everything including our flaws.
Then why when we don’t adhere to society’s rules,
Then we are scrutinized under society’s claws.
The outside layer of society seems so nice,
Likes to say we are a melting pot of diversity.
But deep down there is a certain list of unwritten rules,
If you don’t follow them your life is considered as perversity.
Certain rules and laws are bent depending on who you are and who you know,
We live in a society to which what you have is what your worth.
But everyone is equal and you can achieve your dreams,
Well that’s what is brainwashed into our heads from birth.
Society fails us because it is based on a foundation of lies,
Everyone is judge for what they do or say no room for drawing outside the lines.
We are convinced if we are different from the “normal”,
Then you should pretend to be something your not fearing to step on those society
landmines.
The fact that some people feel the need to hide a part of who they are,
Feeling ashamed for wanting to be themselves and to be a part of society’s proprieties.
That’s where society fails we are not open to different lifestyles or peoples choices,
But that’s what are one life should be a world filled with choices and varieties.
