Corruption

I am sickened at what the world has become
Perversions of mind and soul
Corruption surrounds me
I cannot take any more of it

What has the world become?
What led us to this downward spiral
We all seem to be trapped in?

Aside from my own imperfections, mistakes
And insecurities that cause me grief
Any pain felt from these indiscretions
Uncomparable to the sorrow I feel;
My grief over the world's suffering

Nothing could have prepared me for this
I feel so utterly shocked when I sit back
And dwell on what disturbs me about this life.

I feel like society as a whole needs a massive electricution
A shock to the brains of the masses
And the corruption that has dissensitized us
When will we wake the FUCK up and make a change?

Is change inevitable or avoidable?
Will we as society eventually right ourselves and our morals
Taking whatever extreme measures necessary
To better our lives and our pathetic little existence?
Or will we continue to live blindly
Avoiding whatever truths we fear so desperately?

This being said, I admit my trouble with facing my own fears.
I am clearly not alone in my struggle.

But when do we reach the point where we decide
To just suck it up and swallow our pride
For the better cause or the greater good?
So that an entire age of humanity is not laid to waste
In the ruins of deception, corruption and bigotry.

I envision myself in the darkness reaching ever precariously
Towards the outstretched hands of children
Whose minds are still molding
I want to carry them and whisk them away from this place
I fear for them and what their eyes will reveal to them
I wish I could blind them from it all

Come with me, little ones
Let's run away from this place
To a peaceful realm of solitude, serenity and happines
Where we can dwell and live forever.
For we do not belong here.

Oh so surreal, these hopeless thoughts of mine.
