A B*#$% Named Society...

A B*#$% Named Society...
Posted by Brittany

My english teacher gave an assignment to write a poem about something that is wrong with our generation. This is what i came up with... Tell me what you think.

Society ain't nothin' but a $#!@
pimpin' us all.
She's immune to your whining,
quit while you've still got a voice.
She's gonna bend you over
anoint you with bitter seed
without an ounce of empathy.
Making a mockery of you
she'll leave you delusional
and outright dumb.
Charge twice your monthly income
to rent a dilapidated flat
in the slums.
Her husband, materialism, is a
bossy egocentric,
dictating her every move.
Look into her sensual
and tempting eyes,
see depravity and sarcasm
deep inside.
She will fill you with every drug
she can cop,
syringe forced into your veins
anticipation fills her
as she waits on them to rot
then call you the
atrocity of the neighborhood
'cuz you're just an addict
you ain't no good.
Immerse you with doubt
til you think it's
impossible to find a job.
Then play innocent
after she evokes
your anger
labeling you lazy
and lacking in ambition.
Everything vile
is beautiful to Society.
Anointing you with
hate and distrust,
she'll be satisfied
when you think life is unjust.
If she can get you down and afraid,
she'll keep you that way.
Called you friend when
she needed you yesterday,
she'll denounce you
when you need her today.
No euthenasia can kill this $#!@,
she refuses to die.
We are all guilty,
we feed her and give her strength.
Every day she gets more powerful.
Her initials are monogrammed
on all our souls
and she's claimed us
as her status quo.
She'll have you so desperate to get
away from her clutches
that you'll pray for an escape
to serenity any way possible.
Either rapture, suicide, or homocide...
call it Calgon and take me away.
