The Abyss

Everything in this world is changing
At such a rapid pace
Things I used to understand
Have put on a different face
It's all become too complicated
For this aging old girl
I want to live in peace
Not in a constant flustered whirl

Things never stay the same
That would cause stagnation
The pace that life is changing
Is causing consternation
It's not an ideal world
Life teaches us this
The world is slowly drowning
In a human-made abyss
