This is Reality

PreviousNext
Murders and death
Money and wealth
Lust and rapes
Gold digging apes
 
Stereotyping fools
Judgmental tools
Lowly kid deprived
Friends had not arrived
 
Hearts that grudge
Eyes that judge
Greed’s a sin
Pain from within
 
Forgive the rich
Forget the poor
Feed the riches
And nothing more
 
Heads cut loose
Abused and bruised
Blood dripping wet
Death’s debt
 
Government officials
Threats and missiles
Government will fall
We’re fools one and all
 
What is society?
Hypocrites and blasphemy
Booze and weed
That’s what they need
 
It’s better to die than to live
Better to depart than to grieve
This is no place for humankind
Yet it’s still hard to leave this place behind

O.O

Nice work with the rhyming scheme = D There are some really interesting pair ups in there. It's all too easy to stick to the normal "Though-go, heart-apart, me-free," the kind that can be predicted three verses before hand. These ones were interesting.

The only one that caught me off was 'Government will fall / We’re fools one and all," you already used Goverment in the previous line and the rhyme here does seem a bit too forced.

I can't tell if this is a cheery poem or not XD Half way through I was feeling miserable and wondering how things can seem so grim through someone elses eyes, but that last line caught me off guard. I love it, so much. It's like a little sparkle amidst lots of hate and angst.

I don't know if you intended it that way, but it made me suddenly think of why this place is so hard to leave. The first thing that came to mind is a child, or a brother, or friend, or maybe just hope. For that last line alone and the big question it put in my mind I really like this one.

Feel free to pm me if you have any questions.
