Society drags on with laws.
Schedules, Lives, Dates.
Lack of time, the culprit and cause.
Depression, Apathy, Distance.
No hope of a single, momentary pause.
Rush, Sickness, Death.
Everyman his own boss.
Deterioration.
Degradation.
Cultural hiccup.

Poetry: Society's standard
by Casalan
Oh how it glistens, the stars above the Promised Land,
Oh how it glistens, the blood upon oppressor's hands.
And time it has
Objectified, crucified
This that and
who lied.
Beyond what is said,
All the lame stuff we're fed
After the fire
The smoke
by Sarah Terzo
"After the Husbands Left the Table"
Excuse me, but
for just one brief moment
behind that bright lipstick smile,
I thought
She looks in the mirror,
And can't stand the sight,
She thinks she's overweight,
When her body is just right.
She laughs with
Society
We find it necessary to shape
And mold the Earth,
Into unfamiliar faces,
And stratify society,
Aristocracies and disgraces.
