mutilated minds
corrupt,
devoid of emotion,
social-retard-ism
captivated today
seen on the wide-screen
of which the world enraptured
compounded and bound
to the atrocities of society
victim to thyself,
when media casts spite in the
glare of doubt
to the existence of good vs. evil
conspiracy derived,
society hidden inside
not of warmth and glee
but secluded, deep
to the satire of belief
no more the existence of mankind,
depleted the visions of hope
of which our land derived
falling privy to demands
of evil
when only one voice, is spoken
one voice, be heard
the world withdraws within
mankind, imploded.
