Silenced Society

In our own vanities, we drown And beneath our skins the delicate insides rot The world has divided in two: Those who do, but shed the blame and those who carry its burden With plastic smiles rotting on our faces And hollow words upon our tongues-- The shield we bear to keep our humanity at bay Why would we be deceiving our fellow human beings? Staring at eachother without seeing Hearing our words without listening Blind and deaf, mute and dumb Numb to our world in its every essence
