It Still Goes On

Jaded vision loss of innocence

Fuming pyre of common sense

All the minds lost in the haze

Preferring a symbolic gaze

It still goes on and on 

Dissembling right from wrong

No focus on the scenery

Only seeing what it means to me

Taking without giving anymore

Who knows what’s in store

It still goes on and on

No contemplating right from wrong

Clinging to their version of the past

Where gains were never meant to last

A tidal wave of memories

That mean nothing much to me

It still goes on and on

Seeking only what they long

No semblance of reason

No meeting of the minds

Greed is their only pleasure

What’s yours is simply mine
