Our world. Our nightmare.

How can I call this home?
Where crimes happen every second
Where people die for no reason
Is this still our world?

Where did the once peaceful society go?
What happened to the honest politicians?
Or is it just because that our world is so corrupt
that even the purest of man can be defiled...

My family, My friends, My mentors
Some of them are dead now
A death they didn't deserve
A death that was too young

Even at our own homes were not safe
Any second, someone might jump at the backyard and shoot you in the head
And there goes your life
All ended by a man longing for riches

From the simplest common man
To the highest government official
Anyone can be corrupted by the sight of gold
Is this the end of our society as we know it?

Look at the news...
Before, drug pushers are sentenced by the highest punishment
But now...
They're given freedom?! what kind of world is this?

Everywhere you look, greed is seen
from shortage of changes
to the the sudden disappearance of the government's money
everything is all the same...

Even children today are given guns
Guns that they'll use against fellow man
For just one worthless reason...
Money...

I'm not saying we're not all like this
Our society still has hope
Like mercury in pandora's box
There is still a tiny spark of light in the stream of darkness
