Life is Withering

Life can be plentiful,

but is plagued by destruction.

Always seeing these cell phone ads,

On YouTube and every corner I turn.

Technology is advancing, and growing,

May as well get it implanted.

Cause no one is looking up, always down on their browser.

Facebook, Instagram, text messages, and Snapchats.

Girls posing and posting,

Worried if their bottoms look better on the bathroom sink and in the mirror.

Guys trying to get in their DMS.

Selfish and lost in corrupt behavior started by the ones that've led us.

Hatred, drama, and gossip rip apart our schools.

Kids aren't happy anymore with just playing outside.

But even then, how can we trust our neighbors.

Rapist, Drug dealers, gangsters, and gunslingers.

I understand the world can't be perfect, but we don't have to be enemies.

Creating our own destruction.

Our sad fates, of death before marriage.

Now a days there is no marriage, just a pointless wedding.

Only for them to turn around and stab each other several times in the back.

Have an affair, then beg for the other to turn back and come home.

It was supposed to be through thick and thin,

Till death do us apart.

Don't destroy yourself, or one another.

For marriage makes you a permanent team, to fight and strive.

Claim victory as king and queen,

Not be mortal enemies.

There is happiness and success.

Love and peace,

But we can't see it for our eyes are glued to our phone screens.

Nature disappearing slowly,

Pretty much, evaporating.

Before we know it, we'll just be a floating country.

Lazy and defeated by all odds.

As humans, our spirits are hard to break.

But now, we lay on the ground and pled mercy.

Raise the white flag, and let them in.

We're not their prisoners,

We are our own people and our own army.

I'm not saying it's right to go rioting.

Nor do I promote warfare,

But we are not weak and we're better then this.

So lift your eyes from that phone, go outside.

Enjoy a breath of fresh air.

Believe in yourself and others,

Try something new, be different.

Whether it's a garden,

Or snow boarding.

Don't be afraid of the unknown.

Be afraid of losing the life you were given to live.

You deserve greatness,

But you can't get there with just a phone, tablet, or television.

Go out and show them who you truly are,

Guys quit playing with the girl's heart and be a man who can save them.

Girls, quit exposing yourself to be like or followed.

For in the end of the day, ask yourself.

Who is really there?
