All We Are

 

And I've got what sounds like a piano bellowing in my head

Most of the colors throughout this reality have turned to red

 

And in the end do we ever know what we've become

Do we realize we are the reason for the absence of the sun

 

Everyday it gets harder to breathe

Putting on the respirator has now become a daily routine

 

And Virgin Mary's statue has begun to cry

She weeps bloody tears for all we have let die

 

Military police are beating down our neighbors

People test their faith praying to Lord Jesus Christ, our savior

 

But praying is nothing but a waste of time

Down here we are no more important than the filthy flies

 

Just today the chemical infested water killed my love

She laid choking on her own vomit, looking to the sky above

 

Maybe this is all we were ever worth

Just test subjects that were put here on this earth

 

Politically correct no longer exists

Governments have become unstable, thrown into the abyss

 

But we can try to overcome what lies undone

We must resist and fight for the cause of our beloved sons

 

Step over the dead bodies that lay mangled at your feet

Shield your eyes from the constant falling debris

 

Through all of the decay our treasured memories get erased

Through all of our pain our hearts end up misplaced

 

Tell me, when you look at that Statue of Liberty's face

Do you see a generation ever making it out of this place

This had a dystopian feel to it. A time where there isn't even a remnant of hope... just misery, disease, oppression, political corruption, war, pollution... though, of course, this can easily be describing our current social state (on a worldly scale).

I like this line:

"Everyday it gets harder to breathe

Putting on the respirator has now become a daily routine"

This made me think of natural selection, you know, adapting to one's environment... and how man is slowly growing incompetent. Man is not physically adapting to his environment; he is creating devices (technology) to aid him in, basically, everything... he is not fit.

Ahh! See how you make the wheels in my head turn!

Oi, but this line:

"But praying is nothing but a waste of time

Down here we are no more important than the filthy flies" I do not like that faith in God has been lost :(.

I liked this one too! Great job!

1984 was meant to be a warning, but I consider it to be inevitable. Hell is other people. Really good poem.
