Consequences

Rewards for doing the right thing
Aren't rewarding enough 
Frights aren't scary enough 
Deterrents aren't strong enough 
Escape routes; aren't even tough 

Duties and responsibilities
Thrown out of system 
It's an individual's world 
From societal pressure to indifference
The pendulum has swung too far 

Ask a withering flower 
Ask a white tiger 
Loneliness and death come together
Fight for uniqueness
Has fought off the comfort of mass 

Carrying our shells on our backs 
Hiding from ants and elephants 
Frozen in fear, lips tightly shut 
Walking volcanos, ticking time bombs 
God of time, is waiting to clean up
