Too Much of a Fad
8/9/16
Why settle
If I haven't yet been successful
To reaching a higher level
Forever I just may wrestle
With the devil
Until I twist them into a pretzel
Extinguishing the flames, before throwing them underneath quicksand and pebbles
Too many worlds revolving around money
It's no longer funny
Considering it's happening in every country
Meanwhile people are starving and hungry
Been struggling day to day and monthly
People on television trying to make others look bad
It's becoming rather sad
And far too much of a fad
You should be glad
And more thankful of what you have
Instead of getting mad
And attempting to prove your point through an ad
What people will do for the spotlight
At times is just not right
