They Celebrate A Broken System

Shaunmatthewcpoetry

Everything backwards but who wants to listen?

Watch while they celebrate a broken system.

Worked to death before enjoying retirement,

Beaten into submission and told to be silent.

No real justice in sight, everything seems fake,

Turn those black mirror screens off and wake.

Believed in lies for decades, spinning out of control,

We all need to come together like one unified soul.

    Good write SM. I'm a broken record. My record says - you knows it - ET, ET, ET,.....lol.

    I hear your voice and have felt the same way now at the end it is no better. That is life in a sea of people each scrambling to keep their head above water by climbing on top of others. A good write my friend

    And how, Shaun...and how. We have been taught to accept exhaustion as virtue and obedience as peace, then wonder why so many people feel empty and powerless. You said it plainly and powerfully. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

      I agree with your message. Its one of a sympathetic will. Nice write.

      Agree with you- we should unite, but how do you convince people to come together to work out a solution- the catch is there
