the world as i see it is no longer romantic.
knights and princesses do not dance,
no acts of chivalry or proper morality,
nor the relevance of kindness,
for the purpose of each human is for oneself.
the world as i see it is no longer happy.
poverty stricken and broken,
hunger, thirst, omnipresent,
sometimes not for food,
lack of care for those unfortunate.
the world as i see it no longer sees morality.
blood diamonds and sweat shops,
beautiful valuables disregarded,
the collective is least important.
the world as i see it is no longer valid.
secrets and lies are its structure,
filled with fake smiles,
few souls are true,
the end of a happy ending is never happy.
i am no longer able to apprehend the world.
