The Voice (Of Modern Disillusionment)

You’re supposed to be our saviour,

fighting things that need attention,

instead you’re killing innocent people,

Girls, men and children.

 

You’re giving kids asbos

for smoking their green

but you can’t say you haven’t been there,

it’s something we’ve all seen.

 

You disrupt our streets

with your orders and conduct.

Why aren’t the people’s voices in charge?

This so called government is corrupt!

 

Growing up in a local school

taught me no lies,

that the law is restricting us

Purple Lips.

The cold of the nights,

The chill of the wind,

Purple lips

Slipping out beautiful sins

 

The curses at the sky

Replying to its bitter sweet lies

As society hits her with a label

“The local lunatic” or “mentally unstable”

 

The howls at the moon

Crying what do I do

I’ve been stranded on this world for two decades

I just want my body to disintegrate

 

Society ate everyone’s brain

The Internet,

Consumerism,

It’s driving us insane
