What a Tragedy- Christen Kuikoua

OF What Importance Is Money In a Disastrous World, What is the point of being rich? to live all lonely and be sad What is the point of building a mansion? to show Power & Wealth while your life is a misery What is the point of having a million cars? if you can drive one at a time Why is the point of using social media? counting your likes & views why you lack personality and confidence always in need of human approval to know your perfect the way you are As you ask yourself this question: You become to question life Why are the rich the most miserable? Not to be rude, but it looks like a fact Why has money taken away dignity? Why has corruption taken away righteousness? Has our world fallen Or is it the fruit of ignorance? we kill for money & betray for couple of coins We have become judas, for a couple of coins, betray Jesus What education do you teach us children? what roots are you planting in us? The roots of corruption and trickery I get it. You got bills to pay, but is worth the sacrifice. is the bills more important than the generation you’re living behind? if you say yes then, my prayer for you is let your eyes be open Because I am sick and tire Tire of seeing children’s life destroy due to the mistake committed by their parents Tire because wealth has removed joy from homes Tire because our self approval has to come from the likes we get on Instagram or Twitter Tire because our new love is corruption, Spreading rumors is now our hobbies yeah, that the new world we live in, where money can buy love What a tragedy, humanity’s progression & over knowing has caused some of us more pain than good It led us to lose our senses Oh, my soul weeps & grieve But scream to see the new rising ray that will shine like a million sun
