The truest character of ignorance are vanity and pride and arrogance." (Samuel Butler)
Divisive times, self centered ways
Do you love your neighbor or show disdain
Somewhere it is dangerous to go outside
Lock your doors when you take a ride
In the mirror what face do you see?
Is it the one who looks down on me?
Greed for some is the driving force
Collecting welfare is another's of course
We once said hello or have a nice day
Now we walk a little faster and look away
Black on black crime is rising fast
Broken homes increase more hopes are dashed
Blame is more than just a game
Many excuses are being explained
Funerals for the young are no longer rare
Now it may be unlawful to say a prayer
Either neglect your children or spoil them rotten
Is this how far society has gotten?
Single mothers with no support
Holding down a crumbling fort
Alcohol and drugs now being condoned
Amid the liberal overtones
Abortion by demand is to prevail
What did our country do to fail?
