Resigned

Resigned to a life a mediocrity
Plodding on mindless

Resigned to all the injustice
That happens all around

Resigned to all the hate
And negativity prevalent

Resigned to an earth
Ravaged mercilessly

Resigned to our rivers
Full of refuse and stink

Resigned to the garbage
Rotten and piling up

Resigned to the slavery
In the name of career growth

Resigned to the corruption
Seeping in to the soul

Resigned to the numbness
That stems from apathy

Resigned to our marketers
Eyes for ever on your pocket

Resigned to the people
Who have lost the power to react

Resigned to the globe
Getting smaller, like its resource

Resigned to life
Disgusting as it ebbs

Resigned to the mind
As it's overwhelmed with shame

Resigned.
