The World Around Me
what happened –
to the world around me
when did it –
become something
that has fallen apart
when did children –
become born
of personal guilt
all those things
look at what has been built
commercialism is a cancer
but we do not seem to know
that capitalism –
is a sore that continues to grow
marriage is no joke
but i know –
how the split can choke
what happened –
to the world around me
