I'm surrounded by men substituting presence for paper and power Females whose foundation is filtering their flaws for fame Children teared up by more issues than tissues to on tear up Leaders promising yester year promises whilst subjects smoke lies like crack Husbands not ashamed to break their own rib giving dogs a good run for that bone Fiends disguised as friends with loyalty as strong as spaghetti Families turned into factories, do as you're told, cave into the mold, become like the rest pf the fold Society nonchalant, busy growing a beard, blind to it's beastly reality .Evy Michaels
