What is life, has it been worth the fight?
All that seem to matter is who’s left and who is right.
People don’t seem to care if you die of fright;
They would rather you tremble at their might.
Tell, do tell, when you stare at screens of light,
Do you see the future or peer into some mystical, divine
sight?
Will it kill you to look up and see your fellow man’s plight
Or are you content at their blight?
Centuries of war, struggle and strife,
Toiled now into land’s history;
Burned into pages and memories of life,
Yet, the lessons are all a mystery.
Welcome to the new world,
Where technology runs the lives of people,
Where avarice and megalomania thrives
And there’s no stopping to the ripple.
Welcome to the new age,
Where being tech savvy makes you a mage,
Where the ability to get a billion likes make you a sage,
Where insults drive people to jump off a ledge.
What is life, can you tell me;
What have we fought for so hard and so long?
To be void of all emotion and compassion to see
Just where along this empty road did we go wrong?
