The Westerner's World

Let's ponder this thought for a moment, do you think there'd be a crash?

What would happen to the system, if most things were paid by cash?

So many credit cards at one's disposal, whichever one you choose

When you use that piece of plastic, you'll suffer the usury blues

If you want some cash don't worry, an ATM just push the card right in

Of course there's a service charge but, don't forget your PIN

How about some online cash or you can just pick up your phone

Or go to your neighborhood mall and apply for a payday loan

There are places to sell most of one's possessions, nothing left to behold

Is your jewelry still worth the same or less, when they call it “broken gold”?

And why is it in the Western world, a feeling of deservedness exists

Where most people have all they need and still, instant gratification persists

Methane-producing animals on steroids and GMO's, in mostly every crop

Copious fast-foods places, increasing obesity and health issue costs, this soon will have to stop

A time, not that long ago generally men, weighed about eighty kilos or so

And women weighing around sixty, certainly no problem in touching their toe

It is fair to say that back in the day, the money-people weren't there like a swarm

And generally a family had little debt, with only, a mortgage on their house the norm

But that was then and now is now and today, so much criminal activity like never before

And to make ends meet, you need four feet and there's really no one keeping score

Pharmaceutical companies aligned with the doctors, medications prescribed to the hilt

Pubescent and pre-pubescent children over-medicated, is this done with any guilt?

A script of sedatives for sleep, am I in too deep and anti-depressants so you can cope

Your back is aching, well oxy's you're taking, this drug has become “street dope”!

Is your mind a-burnin' knowing there's metal-detectors in the halls of learnin', truly kind of sad

And do people care when the family unit's not there, because of a marriage gone bad?

In chaos, store lootings and many mass-shootings, do you think these incidents will end?

Do you believe it's good, living in the Westerner's “hood” and do you suppose it's wise to pretend?

Within the U.S. Border, where they claim “law and order”, the Federal Reserve's an oligarch

The media's contolled by a Few, if you don't like things just sue and the citizens are kept “in the dark”

It is such a pity, so many a tent-city, for a country that once was so great

And it's really not funny for the “people of money”, take the food from the average man's plate

Don't think this so strange, for things surely will change, the Western economy will take a hit

Trust this and heed, the Chinese, will take the lead and Western Leaders, too remiss to admit

Westerners' a house and two cars and everything five-stars, all good things must come to an end

If the Leaders were wise, there'd be no surprise, so why do they have to pretend ?
