Decaying Society

by UM   Apr 4, 2004


What is wrong with society today?
What have we turned into?
Where did we err?
Where are the morals?
Where are the values?
What have we come to,
This great society of ours?

Look at the movies, the music, the sitcoms.
The video games, the TV, and the magazines.
The gore and the violence,
The language and the hate.
And we wonder and worry about the increasing death rate!
What have we come to,
This great society of ours?

Look at the Youth of the Nation,
Our sons and our daughters.
Joining gangs,
Running around with gats and knives,
Or in a dark alley getting it on!
They think nothing of a quick f***,
Or pulling the trigger of a .44.
What have we come to,
This great society of ours?

Our society is crumbling, like an old Roman statue.
Our morals are dirt, stampeded by the media.
Our values are dust. blown away in the wind.
How low can we sink,
Into this mire of “political correctness?”
What have we come to,
This great society of ours?

Money is everything, publicity is too.
Its all about who can show the most skin,
Who can make the most controversial comment.
How can you cut costs to increase profit,
Or just plainly,
How can you screw your valuable workers.
What have we come to,
This great society of ours?

Our society is crumbling like an old Roman statue.
The fuse has ignited and is burning quickly,
Towards certain destruction,
Total oblivion.
Life as we know it,
Soon will crumble.
We need change.
A change in the opposite direction.
What has happened to peace to all,
And goodwill towards men?
What have we come to,
This great society of ours?
