with this world
feels like
there is no place left to go,
confused we are as people
the wrong ones are vocal
the quiet ones say nothing
the ones in power sit and watch as despair flows,
conservatives laugh
and
liberals cry
confusion is the drug
and everyone is high.

we spend more on war
and kill each other every day
animosity grows
so there is no progress to be made,
the poor are getting poorer
and the middle class slowly fades
misinformation swirls
and the only thing people have in common is pain.

liberals laugh
and
conservatives cry
confusion is the drug
that no one wants to be high on,
all lives matter
and everyone has rights
this is our world
but
I do not want to live here anymore.

Excellent poem!
I/'/m getting there myself.

"conservatives laugh
and
liberals cry
confusion is the drug
and everyone is high"

Even Gary Johnson :) Wonderful stanza!

everyone laughs and cries

and maybe a lot of people forgot
to know just why

about a lot of things they ought to know
from any side / they are more the same

then they seem to know.

Unknown_Utopia / I really dug this

Thanks man!

Peace!

You lament that we have too many choices. Too much information to select from. We are over-informed and under-experienced. Living in a world of data without an anchor.
I suspect that the world is no worse or better than it ever was, but we are seeing it now through a picture window instead of a peephole. We have too much to process; are too connected without intimacy; and too afraid to be individuals.
The world is becoming like a school of fish..all going in the same direction swiftly, with no destination.
Your words swirl like the thoughts that you inspire.
Well worth another read!
