Working on the world

Have you ever been to a place where things
shrink, everything else begs for a life
The silence irks, the damage, an ant stings
Once, we were standing here, with all the strife
We kept the party, we kept the fun rife
Knives to our throats didn’t stop the pills, the thrills
Time consumes everything, we pay the bills
How do we save us from a failed system?
It drags everything in sight for the grills
To save the world, evil we must condemn.
