Poems
Jul 2018
City in haze
I stared out into the slums of a ruined society
Where the rich and the poor drew great disparity
I walked the streets that divided the city
On my left, the rich and to my right, those in poverty
The further I walk more sleeping eyes loomed upon me
A great unease befell with each shifting steps
The privileged stared down from their thrones
While the poor watched from below in envy
Politicians and conglomerates drew blood from the city's vein
While its citizens struggle to live through its pain
The rebels prowled the streets for their voices to be heard
Their cries silenced by temptations of ***** money
It reminded me of scenes from dystopian movies
Only this time I was living in its reality
My first take on poems about social issues. Please do leave a comment below to help me improve
