When did we become 
a society of onlookers 
and gapers with yappers 
as loud as megaphones 
and pointing accusing fingers 
as pointed as a 
sharp stick when did
we stop the cheers
and start the jeers
what happened to us
to actually hope no
not hope but plan
someone else’s misfortune in
order to elevate our 
own fortune when did
winning stop being better 
than our opponents and 
become more about convincing 
that we are rather than 
showing that we are 
we’ve become a society 
of cowards and children 
entitled brats who believe 
that everyone else owes
them simply by being 
alive we are doomed 
if this is where 
we are headed and 
if we have not 
already arrived in Hell
