The Abstract World

Scam and hacking are common 
As well as fake votes in canvassing
As well as the pursuit of happiness 
All are abstract and spiritual
We live in a world of abstraction
Insafety and uncertainty
Even if we have a lot of money 
We cannot buy happiness
Cannot discard sadness
And our possessions are subject to Scam and hacking
And our votes in hands 
May not work
Oh
We live years 
To find only this cruel fact 
Of our once lovely world
