Im not a fan of posting my poetry up for other people to see, i write for myself, but i think this one just goes out to everyone, its everyones problem, the emptiness in todays world, i remember growing up... there was so much more passion and love and care then, i dont know where it gone but i wouldnt want my children being raised in such a society that i personally feel is so empty and based off nothing Title - Emptiness | - Indicates the end of a line | Day by day I go about my life watching as the world reaches the pinnacle of oblivion | Watching as love, passion and bonds of undying friendship blast into glass pieces of a million | Traded in for the attention of men and women and the approval of others | Traded in for the love of strangers instead of the love of father and mother | Traded in for the comfort of a one night stand | Traded in for what was wanted instead of cherishing what was had | Valuing the wrong things chasing materialistic dreams | Lusting for what we see our idols advocate in videos and magazines | Women being dolled up to hide the insecurities within | Overdosing on make-up and diets like a depressed human on Ritalin | Brought upon by feelings of inadequacy | Immeasurable pressures felt upon their hearts and souls by society | Put there by men whose ideals of a real woman have become based on the physical | Instead of lusting for the happiness of a woman’s conversation in the metaphysical | Put there by a society who’s economic foundations thrive on the commercialism of being fake| Where society’s beliefs have bent to what celebrity fiends wanted them to make | Things that genius marketers make you believe you need every time you look in the mirror| Sapping your confidence, self-esteem and pride, forcing your very soul to quiver | Don’t believe in the lies that society provides; trapping you in a Nazi encampment | Mere fleeting moments, nothing more than a temporary enchantment | Perpetuating the poison that corrupts our very lives| Proven by the increase in depression, divorces and suicides | We have shattered the foundations that the human life have been based on | Our youth growing up on false values and ideals | Destroying each other yearning for something real| Value your family, your friends, your body, your health, your tradition, your morals | & happiness will find you, righteousness will guide you & the world will become a white sand beach of shining corals
