I live in a world
filled with ideals.
I live in a world
where nothin is real.
I live in a world
in which money is everything.
I live in a world
where our future holds nothing.
I live in a world
controlled by terror.
I live in a world
blind to its own errors.
I live in a world
infested with racism.
I live in a world
in total schism.
I live in a world
infected by corruption.
I live in a world
searching for redemption.

The words you speak are packed with truth... very well done with this.  It's sad, but it really puts everything out there.

Well done!  I enjoyed this, as always
