Path Of Destruction Poem by Lee Geoghegan

A road to nowhere is all they construct
He who blindly follows will self-destruct
We awaken at dawn just to suffer
For many, life couldn't be any tougher

Their dark cunning plans brought to light
The road to dystopia now glaringly bright
No real care for our sons and daughters
The evidence is in the poisoned waters

Treasured values slowly erode away
Degrading further day after day
People are just sacrificial pawns
To the maniacal of societies higher echelons

Billions spent to find that cancer cure
Trillions more needed, my good sir
A doctor's visit may set you right
Treat your symptoms for the next fortnight

To a violent world they gravitate
The hidden hand doesn't hesitate,
The deceived are marched off to war
To adorn their brothers in blood and gore

This digital age is one big prison cell
No more coins to drop in the wishing well
Just another languishing, unanswered dream
That, unfortunately, one cannot redeem
