Give Me Something to Believe In

When a lie becomes acceptable,
And an insult is okay.
When drama is assumed to be passion,
And authenticity is in decay.

When caring is no longer important,
And relationships are pushed aside.
When compassion is a weakness,
And there is no one in whom to confide.

When girls don’t know they’re girls,
And boys don’t know they’re boys.
When the ones that get the attention,
Are the ones making senseless noise.

As human waste is thoughtlessly discarded,
In the liquid of which we depend.
And the skies are filled with impurities,
With resolutions that only pretend.

When the institutions are collapsing,
Leaving voids that can’t be filled.
When guiding principles are forgotten,
And no morals are instilled.

When faith, trust, and respect,
Are nowhere to be found.
Humanity will be doomed,
And unable to turn it around.
