The Future

The frozen lakes of my eyes
View this surrealistic world
Through the cracked
Lens Of its reality,
Distorted and perverse,
With no rhyme, reason or justice,
Where the symbol of God is crucified,
Where the predatory instinct
Of nature prevails,
Where evil is rampant
And the good is ridiculed,
Where the weak masses starve
And the predators are rewarded,
While wars are fought
To increase profits
And boost the economy,
With the power elite and the rich
Lording it over the middle classes,
The poor and the weak,
A humanity endowed
With technological advances,
Especially mass killings in warfare,
But a society in moral decline,
Heading towards dissolution,
Decadence and eventually extinction.
