The Life We Live Poem by Chris Todd, Jr.

Living life in blissful ignorance,
ignoring the world around us,
living in our mind,
doing as we are told,
not seeking the truth,
lies and deceit,
war and hate,
for 'a man would give his only begotten son for democracy', pestilence and disease,
this life gets worse,
departing from fact,
evict the innocent,
corruption of the youth,
destroying our hope,
living is dying,
insuring pain,
crying from fear,
living in denial,
gone are the dreams of you and me,
battle scarred,
left for dead,
existence is futile,
everyone faces death by themselves,
alone,
nothing remains,
a bleak world exists,
darkness,
no light,
fear overcomes,
alone in the mind with Satan,
terror consumes,
skies turn red,
dead red,
black out the sun,
all hope is gone,
eliminate the weak,
ravage the soul,
scavenger of human sorrow,
fight for freedom,
demoralized by defeat,
left as the weak,
desperation ensues,
lost souls,
eviction from my mind,
rejection of the body,
into the void,
trick the mind,
believe what you want,
truth is fleeting,
love is undying,
but death is coming...
