"Impending Doom"
This sense of impending doom -
Certainly I'm not the only one who can feel it?
Out of everything going on in the world,
There's a lot. It's a lot.
The masses would rather ignore it all.
Prevent change, prevent hope?
What's the point with your issue?
Preference of no change and keeping the system,
While selling out your neighbors and acting like you're an angel.
You're no saint, if you sell out;
You are not a "good person"
Good people don't sell each other out, period.
Compromising your morals,
For a system that does not care about you.
Society has gone AWOL from insanity;
As several genocides unfurl through the world -
Climate change also rumbles through the Earth -
I watch through my exasperated eyes,
Slowly self-destructing crumbling societies.
I find the masses ignoring everything flabbergasting;
Sheep led to the slaughter,
Brainwashed by propaganda.
About this poem
This poem is highly political, and highlights society and it's sick problems. The masses ignoring everything going around them working around like clockwork; just moving about on their day while the Earth bleeds and people suffer. Keep turning your head away from these problems... It's really going to bite us in the butt one of these days.
