harness them in,
and wheel them back...

If it was 1942 
Relationships would carry substantial views

Body aching with pain from head to toe

For all the world to see
Shines the light in pearly white

HUMANITIES REALITIES 


The morality rate is at an all-time low
Disparity runs ramped in the streets
The reality of it all screams out "NO"
While everyone's volcanity seethes in heat

The fatality of decency, the mundanity of life
Lost vitality...

Like an abandoned corpse

Have you ever felt so lost
That you would never be discovered
