Write Off
Our society is messed up not our government
We’ve become self indulgent even more egotistical then it’s healthy
We’ve become distrusted by everything
I’m not sure where I was going with this, cause this is my write off
Is this poetry I don’t know, I versed it that way, so it must be true
Here is me rhyming on the words that I’m speaking to you
I don’t have any answers, just being hypocritical of my actions
And aware of the judgement I cast upon the entire world
Alas, I am angry and I don’t know what to do with my anger
As nothing reaches a point of solution cause everyone thinks their right
Which results in me not being much better then society,
Only aware of it’s dangers and slightly worried about my future
Yes their are things going well, if you count that the world is on fire
But I haven’t reached hell, and I’m not at the bottom any more
Looking around I see a world on fire, feeling the need to do something
But I don’t know what, I don’t have the tools, only depressive thoughts,
I don’t know why I value myself to change that mindset or wanting to,
I guess I’ve lost my trust in society, I’ve lost my trust in you
Each and everyone of you have lost my faith that it will be okay,
I think I need to go my own way
But I don’t see the road,
I don’t see where I need to go
All I know is that when I see the world
Each and everyday, I’m losing hope...
We’ve become self indulgent even more egotistical then it’s healthy
We’ve become distrusted by everything
I’m not sure where I was going with this, cause this is my write off
Is this poetry I don’t know, I versed it that way, so it must be true
Here is me rhyming on the words that I’m speaking to you

And aware of the judgement I cast upon the entire world
Alas, I am angry and I don’t know what to do with my anger

Looking around I see a world on fire, feeling the need to do something

| Het is sterk geschreven Wouter en inhoudelijk waarbij je het ik ook betrekt bij en in verhouding tot wat je ziet gebeuren. Hier is over nagedacht en het is goed begrijpbaar dat een mens tot dit punt kan komen. Het kan ook heel "goed" zijn een tijd je eigen weg te gaan. Als het een weloverwogen beslissing is. Hoop blijft het langste en ik hoop ook naast de valide reacties die je al kreeg dat de hoop terug zal komen. Dat kan klein beginnen. | |

| Hey Wouter (zo heet mijn prachtig kleinzoontje ook) ik ben het met de reacties hieronder eens Als je al het onrecht vandaag nog uit de wereld wil helpen wordt je geheid ontgoocheld Kleine stapjes...als we ze allemaal zetten bekomen we nog iets |

| Bij jezelf beginnen. Be the change you want to see in the world. En het is gelukkig niet allemaal slecht... je daaraan optrekken. | |

| Mooi geschreven, herkenbaar gevoel. Denk klein i.p.v. groots en doe iets concreets waarmee je iets steunt of iemand helpt, als velen dit doen zou er al meer hoop zijn denk ik. Gts, Clarice |
