Society

Society hobbles
on a pharmaceutical crutch
character is flat
like the dulling
of brass

The gift
has gotten sold
people are in between
light and dark
secrets are printed 
everything is told

You feel yourself
to see if
you still feel
everything is changing
like advertised chameleons
disguising the road
life is not wealthy
it's cheaper than ever
no more Gold

  1. It does seem that people have become complacent doesn't it? I remember when Jerry Spring first had the big fight on the show and everyone was in shock....now it is common place. Hope all is well with you Chris. We missed you. :-)
