What Have We Become

Dark skies pierce through the moon’s embrace
Plagued by the overpowering cries of those ill and betrayed
Power and greed swallow most in the pursuit of pleasure
Craves the taste of poison to satisfy a hunger
Social media has become first as love is fading
What have we become? a world that truly needs saving
Souls tainted from illnesses on the rise
We wait and beg for more sun to shine
Riots that lead a path of danger and destruction
To grasp the things not heard for recreation
Support rarely holds value with families anymore
Sadly, a place we often find the deepest heartache and closed doors
