Immortal Disdain

The more I look around to see
The more I'm convinced here isn't where I should be
Governed by laws that bind us all
Irrational media that blinds us all

Every time I stop to stare
A faint image floats in the air
The image of a sub-ordinary race
The image of a leader asking for a pay raise

The battles that we choose to fight
The things we impose unto others as right
A glorious past that we've left behind
Dissipates as steam,left us all blind

The lies that feed our judgements
The rights and wrongs that make us who we're not
The blind who lead the blind in the same old maze
The philosopher who knows nothing counting days

The extortionists who make us ill
The material world makes us happier still
Superficial beings that should be killed
Genetically reconstructed to fit the bill

Every day I look around in disdain
I digest the facts about mankind's pain
Pain is immortal,so is hate
Can't fight destiny,can't fight fate.

Collapsed Morality

The more I look around,the more I realise how much morality is lacking in all of us. And no,I'm not talking about the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. I'm talking about morality collapsing in everyday life,and in each of our lives,amongst the people we know. I don't see justice being done to anything. Again,justice not in terms of the (god damn) law,but in everyday terms. People don't do justice to the things they do,to the people they know,to the people they meet,et al. Maybe the stereotypes have a lot to do with it,but nevertheless,its really not hard to be moral,in some remote way at least.
A guy decides he wants to write a love song for the girl he loves,but rips off a lot of lines from famous artists,only to appeal to her taste and sound better,that isn't doing justice to what you do,that is not doing justice to the girl as well,cause he's not really portraying what he feels,he's just saying what's already been said in quite a fantastic way.
A lot of morality takes the back seat in social situations. There is so much apathy in all of us,little do they know that breeds betrayal. You meet someone through a good friend,you get along really well. You make plans with person,little do you think of including the friend who introduced you two to each other? You make plans for a b'day party in a group,do you think twice about excluding someone from the group while inviting people?? Do you call the person who's helped you in times of need when you actually wanna hang out? Or do you just call them when you need something again? This is everyday life! Now show me where morality is!!
Whether or not you do justice to yourself,you could at least do justice to your actions and words,and the people concerned with them. You could at least unplug your ears every now and then and listen to something other than the lies you're fed. You could take off the blindfold and see things for real at least once a while. And not let your judgements be fed by worldly useless things. And what is it that you'd be expected to see? The world crumbling at the lack of morality. And yet you think you know everything. You know everything about nothing at all,cause you're too blind to see morality collapsing,right in front of you.
