How do we expect it/
Being so selective/
Overly protective/
Guess I’m just sensitive/
But this shit is getting repetitive/
All this taste of your own medicine/
How can we ever live?/
With or without this prejudice/
Waiting to set precedence/
We don’t even respect our president/
I’m feeling negligent/
Knowing this selfishness/
Leads to people acting devilish/
The same ones who act heaven sent/
But have been pressed to sin/
Just to impress in their own skin/
Keep taking but say it’s better to give/
The Worlds dodging present risks/
Pessimists/
Believe the 1% will be forever rich/
Just because their on quarterly lists/
Society has been lost in the mist/
Our values have been lost in the mix/
Losing self in selfies and other pics/
Posing with drugs and acting like alcoholics/
I can’t call it/
I wanna eat healthy but can’t afford it/
I saw half of mid Americas houses boarded/
Our views are distorted/
Health plans are morbid/
While our Government has built a fortune/
From the unfortunate with caution/
Fair and equal rights for a small portion/
Anti abortion/
Anti force it/
What’s important/
Finding homes for the poor to live/
Or sending monkeys into orbit/
Now just think about this and absorb it/
Sex sells and so we praise the gorgeous/
But can you point me to where the book store is/
Social media has implored this/
Lack of truth and misleading sources/
People hating each other over religious choices/
Who are our religious voices/
We know Lebron but don’t know who Sigmund Freud is/
But the real missing void is/
Us.
This poem was excellent! Out of all of the problems and issues in the world,
“but the real missing void is/ US.” – Sammy Silva
I have quite a situation on my hands. I was reading where you said that you collaborate with people and take ideas that people shoot out. Okay, mine is pretty crazy, even for myself. Here is my email: Artistica2008@yahoo.com. Will you inbox me so that I can explain? I did not want to type it all here without it being in poetic formation.
Thanks!
