As the world turns cold

A Nick, a nudge, so quick to judge
Can't be careful, pressure's too much
Blatant blame, as egos touch
Better pack a punch, Don't think as such

Stepping on toes, drawing first bows
Don't think twice,  no peace restored,
Indecency is acceptable, Cheating is smart
Pushing things on another is the only way to start

As this world turns cold, spite turns bold
Hate turns stronger, love gets told
Politeness walked upon, sad and stowed
Waiting for a spark that's expected to mold

The likes that trample on bodies and souls
To stand up for one, in spite of what's sold,
I'd rather be thought of as Meek and old
Then the smart ones, as the story unfolds

The gory details will swallow you whole,
When these gallows completely shake your core,
Remember, despite being hurt and sore,
Stand your ground, reinforcement in store

I'm going through changes, like Em and Oz
Rough edges rounded, but I hit the pause,

I reflect back as I feel my frozen hands
Leaden head with an evasive stance
I scream, yell, but glide the way through
Make new way for the latest recruit!
