Every day the liquid of grievances is moistening our cheeks
Because bright minds are failing to find another bright mind to trust.
Our failure to be a brother’s keeper is slowly making us extinct
Because the only one who can save us from us is us,
And if we fail to save each other, we will surely loose the battle.

We have turned into the sole architects of our problems
And we are running out of solutions for one another.
We are falling because our shoulders have become too weak to lean on
And some of them have turned into perpetrators of our own atrocities
Something that has left us in an inexplicable state of vulnerability.

Fallacies have turned into the truth of our time
And false promises have become the foundation at which love is built on.
The once celebrated beauty has turned into an evil beasts
A beast that has taken the lives of many innocent souls
Innocent souls that licked a sugar-coated venom because of love.

Love is supposed to be the solution and not the problem
Because it was created to provide eternal happiness for everyone.
Love is supposed to be fountain of sweet water that provides life to the drinker
And not a volcano that destroys everything in its way as soon as it erupts,
So let us use true love to heal and save our world.
