Society's Demise

This poem has a thousand meanings, each one as unique as the person who thought of it. meaning. find yours.

Lies are the keys to deceit done well.

Spawns of satan, born in hell.

Yet which is more applauded, the good or the bad?

The truth of what we have come to, it's worse than sad.

 

Demons rule us, and we just tend to cope.

Taunting us with the things we love most.

 

I'm waiting, still waiting for it to come crashing down.

Around their ears, falling, do you hear the subtle sounds?

 

These people barely live, I wonder if they're dead

can't you see the wrongs, can't you feel the dread?

 

Get ready, cause it's quite a sight.

change yours lens for a different light.

It's been there all along.

The living world was wrong.

 

You dead, rise up, step out, open your eyes.

And get a good look at society's demise.

I don't think, you could have made my gradutating day any better than what you just sent me as a read request. Man, I love you work, without it I'd probably would be dead right now. Man, me and you are like family. helping the other out with their problems. You know what you are? Your the milk to my double stuffed peanut butter oreo cookies, the Jelly to my PB sandwhich......lol I took that from Lacey. But seriously your everything to me and this poem that you have here sitting on my read request list is A-MA-ZING! lol I hope I never lose contact with you. Love ya man.

Wow, how this hits home. Lies...more lies and deceit. That's all there seems to be anymore.
"Demons rule us, and we just tend to cope.
Taunting us with the things we love most."
and the living world is wrong....
Such a strong message. I wish more people considered such things, yet they come to believe the lies and that is when it gets bad....
Great write! I liked this one alot.

I've been waiting for it myself. "A Letter For King George" is something similiar (that and "An Independent Nation"). You provide light on some relevant points. When will it end? Hopefully soon. Well written.
