RUNNING

Lying, cheating, deceit...

What’s the world come to?

Or was it always like this?

The insurance scam

The loan scam

The fodder scam

The software scam

The scams are endless

And hence the shams are endless

The cocky charades and plastic smiles

Never cease to befriend the mind

The deeper the wound

The more you sink

Till you are consumed by glee

And all of you is accounted for

The green is a nasty thing

The smell of it, the feel of it

The habit of it, the want of it

Makes you forget humanity

To the depths of the unknown you fall

Becoming a hungrier beast

Such a part of us it’s become

Guilt doesn't even come up

But, there still lies hope in a few

The ones who think alike

Running the other way
