A Sad Change

In the rise of power,
Comes the fall of order.
It's every man for himself,
In a competitive world.

Common sense becomes uncommon,
Priorities become mixed and lost.
Identities become confused,
Morality is no longer a concern.

Through the days we strive,
Working hard to succeed.
But what happens to everything,
If we should one day fall?

Lose ourselves to society?
Becoming mechanical creatures.
Who try to look a certain way,
In image, dress...self portrayals.

I say we take a stand,
Striking out of our comfort zones.
Pushing it to the brinks,
Things that concern us most.

Our morals, our beliefs,
Everything we've ever been taught.
The very things we base,
All of our decissions on.

As hard as it may be,
As challenged as we are.
We should stand and fight,
For we know we need to.

We do not want to have,
All the things exposed infront of us.
Lies, deceit, adultery and,
That lack of self control.

The world today is lost,
Redefined by what we see.
Mimicking all the things deemed cool,
It's saddening to see what we've become.
