The world isn't going to hell,
it's been there for far too long.
You've just had a comfy spot in the shade,
a designer pair of sunglasses,
and your own private pool & cabana.
You haven't truly felt the heat,
you haven't suffered the blisters
the pain,
the burning flesh
and the endless chaos.
The oppressed have been suffering
for far too long
yet it takes the flames rising
on your own shins
smoking with your explosive sins,
for you to ever see their pain.
You refuse to wear anyone else’s shoes,
but they never were going to fit you anyway.
