The Status Quo

Chris Pearson

This day and age
Of unnoticed change
And outrageous claims
Is coming true
Without regard to
Lil' ol' me or you
The ones that pay the cost
But all is not lost
Only hard to find
This is the world we're in
Failure's the win
Virtue's the sin
The cruel are the kind
It's time
To reclaim our minds
