Failing

Striving for more, even less

Devious minds aspire to oppress

Diminished standing

A human race

Extinguishing lives

Love as trace

Living for each other is too much to ask

Image so important, trying to perfect

Secondary need to belong to the sect

Show me your title, show me your deed

Pledge of allegiance owing to greed

You I don’t want, put up a front

You I need, your soul to bleed
