Welcome

Today's world!

Welcome to the world,

Which only welcomes gold,

Which welcomes more fake and less real!

The world where people are judged,

And too many things left unseen,

Where people are more keen,

To make others in between,

To make others feel suffocated,

I assure you that 

This'll make you dissipated 

N its something that no one anticipated! 

Welcome to the world,

Where families are left behind,

For people who'll leave you behind!

Where the rich rule,

And the poor drool ,

Over the green dollar bills,

And for them these are the pills! 

Welcome to the world,

Where money talks,

And love is too hard to find ..

Where people who try to be good,

Are considered fake,

And people who are in fact rude,

Considered 'real'!

I dunno what's the real deal!

I guess some things are better left concealed!

So welcome to this world,

Where people are deceived,

In order for people to succeed..

Where no one has time ,

To actually read this rhyme..

Everyone, in a rush,

That they forget to live,

That they forget to believe,

That they forget to hope!

So at last no one can cope,

With something that is unexpected,

So they feel rejected,

And try to end what's unexpected..

Not by facing them,

But by escaping from them..

Anyone can be a coward ,

But know that this won't lead you forward!

So welcome to this world,

Where you've got to survive,

More than you've got to live..

So take your time to revive,

The things that really matter,

to live,not to survive,

And make yourself feel welcomed!

the real world
little sad --- but unfortunately all too true
I think, for me, it would be easier to read if there were some blank lines in between some places just to break it into stanzas instead of one long piece, but that's just my opinion. I like this - it's very well written. A great write!

Thank you so much.. And yeah.. All my writings are a bit unorthodox.. ;) but that's just me :)

[Zequis]

unorthodox is good. I've always felt the nonconformist -- not purposely going out against what others may expect of me, well, not ALL the time purposely -- but I hate being labeled... I like your work - will be reading much more.

[Aswin R Prasad]

The real, mysterious world. Filled with even more mysterious beings. Following robotic instructions like sheep's, following the crowd, staying mum. Not trying to opt out and be free. This is humanity. It's bare bones.

[Aswin R Prasad]

It sure is..

[SnowCat]
