This World We Live In

This world we live in, is like a galaxy of its own So big and ambiguous, I'm frequently alone. Intrigue and mystery are things of the past Thoughts of the future leave me truly aghast. It's dog eats dog, each man for his own Overlooking eachother whilst envisioning a throne. Love and Affection are buried side by side And reigning the earth are Mr Greed and Conceit- his bride. Family values are slowly dissolving like snow Commandment number 5 has reached an all time low. Masks of benevolence are used to disguise intent With only one motivation- to individually ascent. Belief is illogical, magic no longer exists For if it is unexplained, it is not on the list. I tremble at the thought of replacing love for goods It makes no sense to trade diamonds for wood. My question to ask is when will this stop? Will we lose control and fall from the top? Will we self destruct and regret it all? After all, the higher you climb the longer you fall. As a humble proletarian, an answer I do not have The answer you are seeking, cannot be found in a lab. In such a predicament, creativity reigns supreme Mere generosity and selflessness are not quite the theme. For the answer, you will have to look deep in your heart In a realm where logic and intellect do not play a part. You must fear the future, you must appreciate the past It all starts with the present, your contribution is vast.
