Steer the Thoughts

In fake urbanity, somewhere we lost our humanity,
  Respect and care for others, is turning to a formality, 
    In reality, we are being trounced by the mundanity,
      Our morality is now diminishing; it bears no vitality.

Profanity pooled with inanity will lead us to insanity,
  Crippling societies, are swarmed with toxic mentality,
    Where sick minds attack innocent, causing fatality.

Let’s rise, and save world from the hands of brutality,
  And steer the thoughts of youth away from volcanity,
    In fake urbanity, why did we lose our humanity?
