The world we live in is in a cruel state
It taunts us, and haunts us, and spreads around hate
It advertises glory, fortune, and fame
But all it really gives is sadness and pain
Depression, anxiety, murder, suicide
These are all products of a world full of lies
The media screams, "You're too fat... you're too tall"
It throws around standards that makes people feel small
On the internet there is no accountability
People run wild with no humanity
They tear people down, they eat away happiness
Doubtful thoughts say, "You can't do this"
All of this hatred is decaying our society
It's locking us into social propriety
People are starving to fit a size one
Others are dying at the point of a gun
Violence is accepted - kindness is rejected
Lies are taught - happiness is "bought"
Life is ruled by cause and effect
The evil that roams is cause for neglect
The only way positivity will thrive
Is for love to spread and to survive
Forget the lies that flood the Earth
It's time for an era of rebirth

May that love spread rapidly over the earth. The hippies in the 1960s had it right: "Make love, not war".
