NO ONE CARES
It looks like
no one really
cared.
Everyone seems
not to care,
but only cared
about what they
expect from you.
Only give-me-
give-me attitude,
they offer.
Now i have
a rub off
from this
to-take-to-take
down world.
How did I
ever became so
lost without a
caring heart.
Hardened and
nonchalant.
I guessed it
was the effects
of how they
actually acted
towards me.
Neglected and belittled,
abandoned as
if I didn't exist.
Their attitude rubbed
off on me.
It will happen
to you when
you live amongst
them like I did.
He said, i
feel like a stranger
around the family.
They have no
human values or
respect, no dignity.
I don't know
or understand what
happened to us.
What has happened
to everyone,
he pined.
We are the
walking dead
without feeling.
There are no
place safe or
safe haven.
It's dog eat dog.
Surviving daily
is hard.
Mother's can't
feed their children.
The children roaming
the streets begging
for help and handouts.
The elites and the
rich and wealthy
are not reachable.
The influential and
the powerful refused
to come down
from their high
horses to help.
They are watching
from their windows.
Sometimes throwing
down crumbs from
their rooftops.
This is not good.
There must be
a drastic change,
he concluded.
