Stagnant lyrics

Restless and helpless Angst funneled into conflict Stress is social commonality Outliers live in silence Stagnant lives are short lived Poverty arise, aspirations decay Changes suppressed and locked up Education dismissed civility declined True misery is displaced Withers by our conscious minds True misery is displaced Withers by our stagnant lives Policies created to rid the poor disease Ridding nothing and creating an endless cycle Are institutions or the government to blame? Or should the common people hang their heads in shame?
