Society

Change.
That's what society needs.
Not just presentation,
But more importantly implementation.

The youths of today are trapped by society,
Pre-conceived ideas and prejudice against thee.
Social media driving us all insane,
With no one else but ourselves to blame.

The government leading us in the wrong direction,
Although good may be your intention.
It certainly doesn't look like that to us,
Just bullshit in a way to "big you up".

Lies and altercations,
That's not the way to run the nation.
All just illusions to make us believe,
That we as people are meant to be free.

Our societies are in constant state of friction. The difference between what the Electronic Media protrays and the reality causes this tension, a deficiency of sorts. I can go on and on about things that are not going well specially in my surrounds but all it does is breed more apathy and hopelessness.
Well written poem! thumbs up!

This is so very true. My only complain might be that you weren't strong enough regarding what society is doing to our children.
Very good write.
