FALLEN VIRTUES

Can you feel the view that life portrays?

crowded streets littered by everyday noise

tattered concrete blocks stained by the rituals of poise

The sarcastic notion that we designed this maze

 

A jungle built on the deterioration of dreams

   as mother nature is divided like cake

   in a scheme devised to enrich its slaves

Because the rich and poor are on opposite teams

 

Dingy signs all clad in rules on every block

   clattered amongst the falling souls who beg for food

   cement beds await the hearts of black and blue

Societies fallen virtues we have forgot

 

Enraged disgust to see how little people care

   in a nation over-populated and under-resourced

   by a revolution whose values have driven us of course

Defended by the ignorant who wood sell you air

A battle of hope can not be fought as one

   experience the chance of opening your eyes

   and adore your seat on this one-time ride

That is sadly taken advantage by some
