The Cup

We take a sip It goes down The taste… The bitterness of lies Deception A waste… It could be hot It could be cold Every sip we take A story untold Hidden secrets The unknown truth Of what we’ve done Today our youth Poisoned… We drink daily Without a care By the gallon None to spare A dying world At full speed ahead No slowing down Too much blood shed See us Lord Let this cup pass It’s full of sin It won't be The Last
