Disillusioned

Awaken

By Gregory AndersonPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

Our world is on is knees

So many of the people begging please

Still the people are looking for some conclusion

Only to find the multitude are disillusioned

In a world filled with hatred flowing like a stream a man once proclaimed I have a dream

Our world has become jaded by the things we are seeing truth and honor have lost their meaning

Standing under a banner be it red or blue we allow a color to define what’s inside you

History bemoaned we have a tradition of pointing fingers and throwing stones

Neighbor to neighbor without love we are distant strangers

The consensus is to reach a better union we the people can’t be disillusioned

How shall we stand united when we are clearly divided

The parameters of right and wrong are barely hanging on

We must unearth the oldest clue the truth is buried within you

So many talk entertain and brag speaking about the things they have

We the people applaud and proclaim we are entertained

Our world appears more focused on who is the g.o.a.t than a enemy at our throat

Many are blind and have lost their way a substance the enemy that invades

Through chaos and strife it overwhelms and ruins lives

Wealth and fame can mask the pain that inward they are empty and it’s all a game

While the masses suffer a bruising the numbers swell for the disillusioned

We must learn to see each other that is the conclusion

The only way to awake our world of so many who are disillusioned
