Fatal Evolution
The outside world is full of dispair
Crime, corruption and hate--true friends are rare
Once beautiful skies with clouds floating in air
Now filled with pollution because none care
Forests with evergreens, oaks and pines
But fires and axes leave little behind
Love, romance, fidelity, matrimony
Are now greed and deception, compassion is phony
What happened to the world that once bloomed with growth
Where people respected their friends and foes both
So as you walk the troubled road of life
You must look for solutions and avoid the strife
Accept your defeats, and hold your head high
Cause life's a bitch, and then you die.
--T. DeMatio (1986)
