It’s sad
Today’s world is sad
Our higher ups fell to the levels of the shallow
Fame is idolized instead of the moral fellow
Bitterness is buried in the brightness of lemon yellow
Manners and etiquette are confined to saying hello
Butterflies' wingtips are afraid to spread and fly
The handsomeness in man is we glorify
Fine character traits aren’t the foremost only a sub
We don’t look for satisfaction only love
The insides lie forgotten as if we’d become blind
We look only here, right now never forward or behind
the old and wise is a hindrance not a source of advice
thinking and thanking isn’t a must, only nice
fat isn't an adjective rather a life sentence
asking for help violates any claim of independence
it's like up became down and night became day
and everything that shouldn't be is now okay

This is literally my view of the world! You put it down so clearly and in a sense of satire so well written! Coincidental how we have similar views?😉
Your words are absolutely true about today's world. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you all for commenting! Yeah, I'm happy there are still people that relate to that line...
"and everything that shouldn't be is now okay" - this really hits home, it unfortunately feels so true.

Really felt the everything that shouldn’t be is now okay line — poignant work here.
