[hometext] => You are told that what's right often isn't what's popular... but no one ever tells you how hard such a truth is to learn.
[bodytext] => Us moral, we’re a dying breed, Most don’t care what they need. Knowing between wrong and right, Is as basic as day and night. Apathy and conformity too much, And all of the world is as such. Why pretend it can’t be changed, And accept the sanity of those deranged? Logic and reason pushed aside, No trustworthy person in which to confide. For somewhere along the crooked way, All turn against you for what you say. Fabric of society has become frayed, Growing up too long delayed. Standing up to point out what is wrong, Has become the tune to a hated song. Hushed and shunned are those moral few, In a darkened corner they then place you. But why put up with such wrong, And be made an outcast instead of belong? What has the world come to, That all have been taught to condemn you, When all you wish is to perfect What is the wayward society’s greatest defect?
