Society
The people we think we know
Most of them, well, become foes
Some of them we love dearly and want to keep
Others we just want to get rid of or delete
We live life with people who are so loathsome
So outrageous and vile and we feel lonesome
And deserted
And isolated
And desolated
That we let them crush us and our spirits
That we let them smush us and our limits
That we let them shatter us and our dreams
That we let them demolish us and our beliefs
This is the society we live in
You, I, him, her, he, she, we
Society
- Elizabeth Jeanette
