Civillisation

The same old chant of life sucks is heard
I chuckle and sit back
The same old whine of "I hate this world"
I smile
These voices I hear
that tell me life is bad
I listen to with a grin
and nod my head again
I wonder what it is
that makes these people curse
Life is a gift
not a parcel bomb
but why is it that I laugh?
and why do I feel pity for these disillusioned people
Do they really hate life?
or this culture of greed and lust?
this 'civillisation' of needs and wants
this childish desire to own and control
our media tells us
that materialistic gain and sexual gain
are all that we ever need
greed is good,
Lust is everything
we are told this,
And so, that is my reason for not feeling sorry
that is the heart of my laughter
I feel sorry for those growing up in this power hungry world
left naked and defensless to the wolves of lust and greed
is it any suprise that self esteem is low
when the good and the kind are pursecuted
and the greedy and the lustful are roaming free
yes, I laugh, I find it funny
well don't you as well?
after all, what's not to laugh at?
It's our fault it's like this anyway.
