travelled far ?

Travelled far ?

At times I think that my life has made a turn
Only to watch it crash and burn
Promises made, never followed through
People’s values differ, I know it’s true
Society expectations is at an all time low
Shallow are we that emphasise the show
Do I look good in this, do I drive the rite car
Is this the place to be seen, have we travelled that far?
Dept is the beast that we now feed
Life now is driven by simple greed
I sit and watch the world rotate
Theft, murder, fear and hate
What has happened to human race?
In the streets of the privileged there off there face
Down at the corner some one is dead
Blood all around, bullet through his head
So life has no value it seems so bazaar
We must push on, have we travelled that far?
