So Petty, So Petty

So petty are the games people play
In the hope that they'd prove a point
So petty are the lies people talk
So lame are the reasons they appoint

So short is this time on earth that we have
to waste with a lie and a plot
Yet the fact remains over thousands of years
There are those who will let their minds rot

Not that they will achieve anything great
They'd lay whimpering in their own acts
For the circle of life, is a circle complete
Nature is driven not by story but facts

So i awake each morning amused at the world
surprised at the collective need to fail
But everyone has an excuse for it
corporate, civilised, way of the world, let it previal..
