Accept For Those Who They Owe

In a world getting more socially global,
They find their values and standards
Over rated and outdated.

Their isolationistic point of view,
No longer supports their dependency on exports.
And no where is anyone importing their arrogance.

Today more people view them,
With pity than with praise.
Like a child once tolerated...
But time has aged those days.

Even slowly they can not be awakened...
From a deep induced sleep.
To see themselves.
In every aspect of their daily lives...
They are delusional and entertain fantasies.
And those who speak of truth and reality...
Are slandered and despised.

Their way of life does not exist anymore.
Not to those with opened wide eyes.
And they can not see themselves as powerless to this.
They can not see themselves,
No longer number one.
No longer the one kept loved and special...
OR prioritized,
On anyone's list.
Accept for those who they owe!
