The moon was lost in the endless sky
The sun sat alone amongst the silent day
The wind was still in the echoing streets
As a man wept with no words to say
Faces froze into constant bitterness
Loves was tossed with the discarded trash
Hate stood strong upon his preaching soapbox
Hoping love and fear would clash
Minds no longer thought alone
Conformity took over the heart
Individuality got lost in the growing crowd
And families were torn apart
Lovers no longer made love
Sisters could share no bond
Man and woman fought against each other
And the innoscent claimed the wrong
Music made no harmony
Birds ceased to sing
The past became a clouded vision
Anxiety is all the future brings
Depression became normal
Happiness was plagued as odd
Ignorance was a valued heirloom
Even love became a fraud
This is society�s disillusionment
Cynics are left to ponder this
If we are never to know love or joy
How can be love and joy be what we miss
