Curse society

Focus on yourself

Curse society

Evil and vile

Triggering frowns

Through a feigned smile

*

Curse society

So big and cunning

Causing healthy legs

To brake from running

*

Curse society

She overtakes.

All those strong

She brutally brakes.

*

Curse society

In all her glory.

Changing a lifeline

To be her story.

*

Curse society

Conquering minds

Until peace in control

She guffawingly finds.

*

Curse society

With her tricks and lies.

Coated in honey,

She easily defies.

*

Curse society

Bury her underground.

She’ll still be there

But with a brand new sound.

*

Curse society

And then focus on yourself

You may still hear her snicker

From somewhere on the shelf.

*

Curse society

Know that she has lied

She turned your focus to the external

Instead of building on the inside…
