This World

The world where we’re living is unforgiving

Chances we take become mistakes, fakes, and retakes

The media writing, sighting, lying, and trying

To not only be funny but also to make money

Turning, churning, and burning

Twisting the truth when there’s no proof

It’s all a game, the blame, so lame, such shame

Voting, noting, quoting, devoting, promoting

Politicians, missions, conditions, and coalitions

All based on religion, it’s a division between each opinion

Jews abused and accused

Christians spreading the gospel, they tell who is going to hell

Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, others too

Criticized, despised, and advised

By atheists who insist that gods don’t exist

Science becoming the new reliance and alliance

Teaching, preaching, seeking, speaking

To children, over and over again

We don’t explain the pain, the strain, so insane

The next generation to run each nation, situation, and organization

This world that is twirled, swirled, whirled, and curled

Models using foundation, make-up, and perfume from bottles

Beauty is their duty, getting rich, mansions, vacations, and Jacuzzis

Teenage sex, unprotected, leads to being unperfected, rejected, and disrespected

Aborting and divorcing instead of marriage and a baby in a carriage

Lust, no trust, disgust, and unjust

What we haven’t seen is clean, serene, not obscene TV

Reality shows that are opposed, chose, and exposed

Addiction, conviction, affliction, and fiction

Drugs, thugs, bugs, shrugs, and hugs

Disease, freeze, sneeze, wheeze, and skinned knees

To live, stay alive, trying to survive

To die of old age, sickness, murder, or suicide

Peace, what we want to seize, let the hate decrease

War pours, roars, scores, draws blood and gore galore

Spread the love, look up above, think about what we’re all dreaming of

Schoolchildren with a crush, they blush, flush, and rush

They play with such delight and insight
When one is a toddler there is no grapevine, cliques, or gossip

But when older and bolder

One needs money to eat, sleep, drive, and thrive

Expectations, complications, allegations, revelations

Only pleasing, appeasing, impressing, obsessing

This world, full of discrimination, manifestation, and yet imagination

Invention, attention, conventions, comprehension

Theory, guess, progress, success

Living this life at its best, even if it may be a test, a quest

Will we ever find the answers, the solutions that are not retributions?
