A Dysfunctional Society
Location
I have always been told to
Never give into peer pressure,
But I have
Never been told to
Not pressure others.
The society in which we live in
Is dysfunctional.
Because
Airports see more sincere kisses
Than wedding halls.
The halls of hospitals have heard
More prayers
Than the walls of churches.
Horrific weather has felt more death
Resonate within their clouds
Than undertakers have felt on
Their fingertips.
And people do not realize that the atmosphere
Aching around them
Is not dysfunctional --
Society is.
