Society Has Changed
Society has changed over the
past decades, centuries even.
What was once a peaceful
world that followed one rule
Is now full of hypocritical and
power-hungry people,
Who act all high and mighty
with their fancy suits.
Setting laws that go against
religion, patronizing us
About what’s right and wrong
when in reality,
They are trying to monopolize
us into believing
What they think is right. Ding!
Don’t you get it?
In the past, we were against so
many things like gays.
We were separated by skin
color because someone
believed
That they were given the power
to belittle others without
consequence.
Our parents say we aren’t
allowed to drink
Without realizing that they are
being hypocrites
Because when they were our
age, they drank to their hearts
content.
Isn’t it funny how they tell us
that
Clothes that show a lot of skin
is the “devil’s work”
And to put more clothes on yet
they design and
Advertise the exact type of
clothes they tell us not to wear.
Funny how much of a hypocrite
we are right?
In today’s world, we are bound
by so many rules and
regulations
Created by people who can’t
make up their minds
Because they let others
influence their decisions
In order to keep up
appearances.
They start raising and lowering
standards and expectations.
Treating others like animals by
deciding what’s best
For someone without consulting
with that person first.
We continue not helping others
in need by turning
A blind eye while knowing it’s
wrong.
We ignore one’s existence by
giving them orders instead of
respect.
We live in such a cruel world.
It’s so cruel that in today’s
society,
We have animal abuse which
leads to endangered species.
We have to deal with
assassinations and murders,
Child abuse and kidnappings.
People’s beliefs and religions
clash against each other.
We make promises without
meaning.
We become arrogant, selfish,
and greedy
Without our realization,
apologizing without sincerity.
We are hypocrites within
others’ minds.
We cant exhibit loyalty and
trust
Because of past experiences.
We are filled with emptiness
and darkness
Because we have yet to feel
happiness and love.
We are lost puppies within this
world.
So lost that we can’t tell the
Difference between fake and
real.
We doubt our abilities,
Then turn to science for
acceptance.
Creating and using slang affects
Our learning abilities.
It’s like we are against life itself
By having abortions,
Bullying people ‘til they can’t
take it anymore,
So they seek out death by
committing suicide.
Isn’t it ironic how they tell us to
stay true to ourselves,
Yet they set rules for us to
follow, so
No matter how you look at it,
They are contradicting
themselves
Which makes them hypocrites
right?
Society has changed over the
past decades, centuries even.
And this is only the beginning…
