Wrong with the World


What’s wrong with the world?

What isn’t?

Why did our own lives slip out of those hands

And into a graceless hell

What the hell is going on

with these crooked mortals?

Chemical heads cranking

Never ending

Never resting

Never seeing

Black vapor blinding them from tranquility

Self-centered

Self loathing

Self destructing

Fat fingers idly taking hold of each others throats, to gain what?

Thin slabs of nothing and the undeserving pleasure of repute

Souls of the familiar

Are stranger than you comprehend

Do you pursue or do you dance around their circle of retentions so dark you’re too foolish to aid

Fight for the unvarnished truth

Fight for the zeal of your lover

Fight for the breath of pure life

For in this hell we must live

We must feel wretched

We must uncover disheveled pasts of others

We must relinquish life with what we had

Dissipation hiding under our skin

For if you have ambiguity in the minds of others inquire their trouble

Aid the hurt that was diffusely caused

Be the sparks in the nature we are limited to

Do not be the devouring flames of inconsiderable sources you see all around

It starts with you and me

Rest, love, help

Take the passions fused and wired inside of you

to make your stars illuminate and scintillate
