Society Is Dead



Society is dead, I am sure of it!
People walk with no meaning on their faces,
And make promises that have no solutions.
I saw a hopeless man the other day crying tears of black dust,
The black dust fell to the floor and created daylight.
The daylight was then taken from the man because he believed that his dreams had feet. Punished for his belief, the man's feet were cut off and sold, rounded to the nearest dollar.
Society is dead, I am sure of it!
