Disappointment
Looking out over the vast ocean of lights,
I weep for what generations may think,
Brother slain by brother for the thrill,
We work away to make a decent living.
I weep for what generations may think,
Because they have to deal with our mess.
A mess that should have never been.
Brother slain by brother for the thrill,
For what they think is freedom,
But this life has no freedom.
We work away to make a decent living,
Yet we are not truly alive.
Sitting there endlessly working for nothing.
