The Life We Are Currently Living 

It begins at conception, deep down inside
As we debate is it a choice, or is it alive?
Doctors know, when life begins
But the pressure to say no, covers what could have been

Are we truly lucky, if we get out alive?
With mothers who drop us in dumpsters, and then let us die
As strangers torture and fathers molest
Surely abortion would have been best

We are being watched, photographed and scanned
If this is acceptable, then we are imminently damned
The courts have no problem with possession, are people justified?
To portray the most heinous of acts upon us? Children hide

We are in our teens, lost and unloved
Selling our souls, for an array of sex and drugs
As hopelessness consumes us, like a giant black tide
Either the gangs will suck us in, or we'll attempt suicide

We are shooting our classmates, and it is quite fun
Those who suffered at their hands, now laugh as they run
There is no hope for us, we have no remorse or dread
As we kill all that we can, then put a gun to our head

Young adults stay lost till around mid-life
Playing with aids, or flaunting gay-pride
Some sell their souls, for the next big promotion
While breaking their families as they go through the motions

Divorce and drunk-drivers tear families apart
Backed by lawyers who go for the heart
"I just stopped loving her, can't you understand?
Her hair smelled so nice, it's not like it was planned"

Adult bookstores are the norm, found on every street
But this is ok, we're not feeling the heat
"It's only innocent fun" all the participants taunt
"It's a free country, I'll indulge if I want"

Now we're old, senile and sick
I'm afraid of hurting, so let me go quick
I'm tired and useless, and am being artificially sustained
So go pull the plug, and see what you've gained

Don't be surprised at the wrath of God
Seeing as we've taken our sins, and signed them as laws
That doesn't affect me, I'm not part of that throng"
But deep down inside, you know you are wrong
