Now that we are here,
what can we do to reclaim
our lives and sanity back.
Our psych has been so messed up
lately and it's been a drag on the
mental state of everyone.
People are sick and tired of being
sick and tired of all this happening.
Hopelessness and helplessness
is deeply engraved in the
heart of the people.
They seem to grapple in the day as if
it's really dark.
Hungry when there is so much to eat,
living daily from hand to mouth.
Worked so hard with little to show for it.
Men have abdicated their throne in the family,
rights and efforts abandoned,
neglecting everything important to survive.
Children are left on their own without support
and supervision by their parents or wards,
abused and molested for a crumb of bread,
young girls ***** and impregnated by the very ones that supposed to protect them.
Is this a curse or a jinx by the god's?
Atrocities have become the norm of the day.
Everyone on there own.
Survival of the fittest is the daily practice.
Abomination of the desolate is really here.
Upside down is everything turning into,
and we all will eventually fall down.
Things I'm afraid is falling apart and I'm fully convinced that we are heading to our doom.
