Distracted By The World

Constantly being deceived

By George HallPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Disaster at the hands of the abyss

Ignorance disguised in turmoil

Sanity for those that seek it

Truth telling for the ones not yet heard or covered up

Rejoice for the ones who get set free

Acknowledge the sinful things we've done

Creating a better world to come

Tempting oneself to the luxuries of the world

Ignoring the signs in all their various forms

Overcompensating for what we have done

Neglecting the fact we still have a long way to go
