Plagued by our insecurities
Our ever-growing greed and need
For things we don’t need.
Obsessions with wealth and beauty
Most never see nor realise
The true value of being, socially conditioned
To see and believe without knowing
A society of falsehoods
People are used, abused,
Material possessions are treasured
Life becomes less important
Social media takes over, falsities prevail,
Life takes a back seat,
Real life is being alive
Nothing faked, never for the likes,
Being human, observing with eyes
That see beyond the abyss.
