Strange
There is something peculiar in our midst
For the first time, man has never been so distant
from an authentic kiss
But today,
Now,
Right now,
Hugs are no longer warm
Bees are rarely seen and they no longer swarm
Where is the honey of our lives?
Are the hugs and kisses hiding in the abandoned hives?
The Morning Glory chorus is singing less
Less vigor at dawn, and throughout the digital day
there is more stress
FTX falling before it can get up
Inflation aggrandizing and no coins in the
homeless man's cup
No more lap time or family dinners
Only IG selfies and fake tweets about being a winner
But we're losing
We're losing in a major way
So much so that children rather stay inside on a beautiful day
BBL's and cumbrellas on the rise
No self-love or knowledge, just a big ole disguise
They say flux is inevitable, this we understand
But certain matters should always acquiesce with the
Master's plan
And some things should never change
My, my I tell you there is something strange
Some things should never change, I say
And there is something strange that's
not God's way
