Road To Hell Poem by Ryan David Ginsberg

You are not judged by your words, but by your actions
Not judged by your mistakes, but by your reactions
But just because you help the needy
Doesn't mean your heart isn't greedy
And just because you say the right thing
Doesn't mean evilness is not something that your heart can bring
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
That are done for all the wrong reasons
Living just for you and for nobody else
Controlled by the money, controlled by the wealth
Controlled by your wallet and what it can buy
Controlled by our personas and each and every lie
Trying to conform into these people on the TV
Just trying to be the 'bee's knees'
But we're all living in pain like the bee's sting
Acting like we cannot feel a thing
Like to all these pains we are just numb
Afraid to admit the thing that we've become
We are all just trying to find our way
But we are selling our souls each and every day
Doing all these things that media tells us
And over all these materialistic things we obsess
Driving around in these fancy cars
Trying to act like these fancy stars
Trying to reach the top, stairs built with cash
But if we continue living this way our life will end as ash
We just throw our morals aside
And down the road to hell we all go in stride
