Upside Down World

If you keenly gaze upon the world of today,
you'll realize we're existing in a world where the things
you care about have been thrown out of the window,
and dark results have been swept under the carpet.
Legal institutions are breaking the law;
Children are parenting their drug-addicted parents;
Globalisation is turning to deportation;
Media sends wrong information often times;
Privacy is being sacrificed at the altar of the public;
We're slowly destroying Mother Earth,
which nurtures and nourishes us.......
Every virtue of common good that we're supposed 
to hold tight and protect, is slowly falling off
from our grip......
