An Escape

We live in a world of decay,
Of anger, deceit and greed some say.
All other people kept at bay.
Flush few eat from a silver tray,
While the rest rely on them for pay.
Work trumps family, friends and play.
An escape from this place is all I pray.
A place where, from the herd, no sheep will ever stray.
But a light cuts through the foggy illusion, shown is the way,
To leave this most maddening fray.
Now in heaven do I blissfully lay,
Living only for this eternal day.
