This is the world of today:
Inertia has set in;
I’ve got no sympathy
‘Specially not when the people
are spreading discord instead of harmony
and the industries
prize quantity over quality;
especially not when
we have the potential to bring
about peace but ready ourselves for catastrophe
and governments pride themselves on economical stability
while we’ve still got billions of people across our planet who are living in poverty
We’re waiting now for entropy;
we sit in the conservative sets of our “open” minds
listenin’ to songs that have no melody;
they’re cacophony;
repeated love songs with repeated lyrics repeated emotions
repeated lamentations of cardiac dystrophy
because gone are the days of writing music for a purpose
because now everything in our daily lives in the media is all about me, me, me.

Tis the winter,
spring,
summer,
fall
of our discontent
and we can’t find a man to match the vision
that we stir up of greatness and invincibility,
and neither can we find a vision
that matches up to the greatest capabilities of man;
we’ve lost our ability to see the reasons for which we struggle
as people, as nations, as individuals
we have ceased to be united;
instead we’re divided under our own roofs
fighting for personal gain while maintaining that false-front of unity
because in a world
where we have every ability to eradicate war and disease and feed the children who are hungry
we concentrate on college funds and Jimmy Kimmel and what Khloe Kardashian wore this week
and everything is still always about me, me, me.

So when finally we do reach a point of calamity
when the world is engulfed in tragedy
and everyone in it – though too late – have had their epiphanies
and finally see the fissures in their mental topography
but are still going on about that glorified vision they have of that “me”
don’t haul the ones who warned in to give advice.
We don’t expect there to be some cure for every weakness of society – there won’t be. 
But with every hand we extend to nurture a world that’s needy
and squash out the projects that prove too greedy
we get closer to building a worldwide, thriving community.
Just thought I’d share that little philosophy.
