This Life

This life, falling apart at the seams
Life is full of hope, others will deceive
Experience grief, pain, and death
Happiness is all you have left
Life is work, life is duty
Don't let it be a burden, don't let it be intruding
Life will fail you, and bring you down
Attitude is key to not let it bring your motivation down
Depression is all mindset
Smile more often, even if you feel like throwing a fit
Laziness is spreading like a disease
Nobody wants to work, but will keep having babies
More mouths to feed, "No money"
Money makes the world go round, "That is what has become society
Greedy, Needy, Money Hungry
Selfish people that consider themselves human beings
I am let down in my youth by what I see
No work ethic, no life with Meaning
People committing suicide
To afraid to let live and die
People that murder just to see blood 
They need to be six ft under the mud
With so much opportunity, most would rather dwell in shame
Can't face reality, without somebody else to blame
Druggies having babies, they can't unconditionally love
Something so precious, a gift from above
I see no morals, no class, no value
I see dollar signs that label a class," Creating the mid-set of I'm better than you
I see kids lost in technology access
The ability to say "I'm bored today lets blow up class
I see my generation falling apart
To many broken families with no push to start
I see misery consuming our Nation
I see a country lost in inflation
I see theories, opinions, known to be fact
Then why is our justice system so out of whack
Why do we need a house of senates
Why not let "Us" the people as a whole," agree
 instead of labeling us the menace
Why are we fighting a fight nobody will ever win
The need for power and control is a need from within
To many nosey people, minding everybody elses business
To insecure to be that modest
Physics giving fortunes, telling us our future and fame
When all else fails, at least you have somebody else to blame
I see no Modesty in woman, they bare it all
You can't see a boy nowadays without seeing their drawers
Why do we have to pay for adoption
and why do people that adopt get paid
If a child is your true intentions
A paycheck should be made
Why do we keep building bigger and better
What happened to keeping it simple
A place to keep your head out of the weather
I see over population to many people to provide
Yet we have all the answers, and reasons why?
I see a world of destruction if no change is to come
I see a world of potential, so blinded and left for dumb
I will continue to speak my beliefs 
In hopes of change for this hopeless society
I pray to see past the materialistic and idealistic
I wish it would happen just that quick
I guess I'm just to pessimistic
