The Unmasked Society

The Unmasked Society

A Poem by Ross Emerson Realino

We were all born greedy
Controlled by a bias society
We all die alone
Where happiness in the face wasn't shown

We people ask for a change
For the value of wealth they exchange
Then you elected an idiot man
Watch him become a god for his own desire and fun

Nobody deserves to be called a hero
If behind every success is an ego
The wise man embarrasses the sick
As if he forgotten his lessons when he was weak

See the blind vendor on the street
He never complained about the heat
But look at that discontented noble
Wishing for a plastic face to make his fame stable

Friends aren't real
Like playing cards that don't reveal
They'll bring you down someday
And leave you along the way

Be prepared for their friendly sabotage
For you'll never know when you'll have to dodge
Today is a joyful chat time they send
And tomorrow is another story, my friend

To conquer the world is our goal
Where shadows are taller than our soul
We have seen the contrast of before and after
When the forests will gently echo with laughter

Religion separates our our worlds apart
It drags away the intention of your heart
Like a mystery that's never been solved
And a nonsense conflict that can't be dissolved

Opportunity knocks once
But failure knocks in advance
You can't always get what you wanted
And you receive less than what you worked with

The only reality in this world is death
You've got to hold every moment with a deep breath
Don't fear about the reaper
He's gonna find a place for the deep sleeper

And so I hope for future's sake
That evil must not wake
Never let confusion make you blind
From the truth that was left behind

Thank you very much!!!
I like the poem, and its rather true, and rather pessimistic, some people (I hope) do live with love in their hearts!

I used to try writing songs before but I can't make one, so I tried to find something where I can put my early works of lyrics. Until they were turned into poems. I started poetry when I was 16 years .. more..
