The Rocky Road to Ruin

 

I see a world consumed with greed

caught in a web of deceit and guile

Violence flows as a pyro plastic mass

as men seek unlimited,and unrestrained gratification

 

People trample carelessly on each other

they grapple and cajole for power and dominance

Wealth is the new immoral goal

its pursuance a new religious cult

 

There is a craving for happiness and pleasure

which rest in the labyrinth of dire sin

Joy is no longer a pure meadow of refreshment

but a quick fix, a climax of disappointed relief

 

The journey has no visible or realised destination

as the ways of peace and justice are mocked and reviled

instead there is a new way like a braclet with trinkets or cheap silver

the road to perdition is well illuminated
