World View II

What I See....

By Jerry SalcedoPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

A dying world, makes for a heavy profit

Obstacles we face are calls to action

Follow your intuition and the rest comes next

Deep down we know what to do

We become ignorant and believe the cynical messages we view

Ads displaying what we turn too

Fabricated lies is the same as the food we eat

Falling from the sky is all that is natural

What lies will be next

Am I a walking statue?

Is the air I breath created thru a machine that filters out the smoke of burning human beings?

I don't know what's real, what's fake

All these false statements destroyed my faith in any possible thing manufactured by humans today

Maybe nature is all we have

Maybe our ancestors had life figured out

Maybe we thought we can improve

Maybe we have failed in the things we do

Maybe we can be better

Maybe we can rise

Maybe 2000 years from now the world will be purified

No radical ideals

No suicidal tendencies

No money hungry industries

No guns

No fake food

No lies

And we'll have actual breakthroughs

The world's not lost, so much beauty is within

The flowers bloom and leaves fall

Death brings life and this cycle prevails all

The birth of a child is the greatest moment

We rise to fall and fail to rise

Stand your ground and believe in your beliefs

Decreases the value social status has on us

Together we can grow, prosper, laugh, and rise above all
