The World is on Fire

musings.by.tl

The world is on fire 

fueled by rage

want to keep their empire

stand on stage

the world is your oyster

if you earn a good wage

all the while — children stay caged

walls are going up

what in the fuck?

we’ve told you what we want

from the beginning 

why is it a sin to be amongst the fucking living?

you promised so much

before the winning

smack the gavel

ring the bell

do what it takes

to stay out of Hell

your moral compass

where has it gone?

if you want to find out

just Google it 

see if you’re wrong

the world is on fire

your answers aren’t there

what do we do?

say a little prayer

    just got to remember this fury
    next time you vote
    so you don't, intrust
    a person not up to the task
    I mean, can't really blame the guy
    he's a shuffling post card
    for old age's, mental degradation..
    (still, good to write it out
    in the hopes it eases your frustrations)
    thanks for sharing
