Society.

by SmileeItsBritt   Apr 30, 2007


This world is full of idiocy,
words are misinterpreted faster than the speed of light
With these ideals we're meant to live up to,
It makes the system impossible to fight.
Threats and violence everyday
Can we ever make it stop?
We can never reach a height of equality
if we're all fighting to get to the top...

A jock, a prep, a rich kid,
these labels are as good as trash
For no one can be put into a single word
How long will these atrocities last?

How pathetic has our society come to be?
Every person feels so out of place,
Small attempts to make everyone matter
But we're spiraling downward at a rapid pace

People get treated unfairly every day
Society creates broken hearts too hard to mend,
If we can't break away from these stupid molds,
This way of life can never end.

    Wow, very true. I especially like the part about the labels, labels are hella dumb, they mean nothing. All in all, good job.
