acknowledge the crime obvious
throughout the entire net world
in the most rich elite technology
advanced countries in the world;
to the most poor impoverished
one truth is socially paramount
wealth political power above
laws rules untouchable supreme;
dismissed poor with cruel words
phrases like the great unwashed
fate poverty ridden have less value;
lost looked away from people
left in neglect need when passing
it is too hard inconvenient to care;
neglect obvious has awareness
beneath shattered hopes dreams
pain feelings suffering in fog minds
abandoned when house of cards fell;
this is a society of stilts built on games
distractions run on tea coffee drugs
alcohol to magic prescription powders
the illegal class drugs devastating lives;
few want to stop think face reality
develop mind soul into empathy
understanding awareness catalysis;
change requires too much effort
for a labour pleasure seeking release
from work problems pressure society;
the present world reality unsettles
scares too many with fear anxiety
when people dare stop still to think
