What a
plague to be barren of serenity
Lost in
a milky way of indignity and atrocity
With
travails spurring faces to frown
As
irises turn blue for beating hearts to slow down.
Sovereign
souls are fettered by thoughts of peril
Longing
for succor to efface their brittle mood
When to
one another we are jealous and crude
Constituting
sycophants professing love not utterly real.
Courage
and hope both teach us to chuckle
When quandaries
pressure our skins to crinkle
Though
feisty, the deprived remain desolate
Holding
acquaintance of faith not to get too irate.
Life is
thus sweet at the other side
Where
stars glitter and beauteous moments flourish
Through
ample views of mirth as fate’s skylights slide
Engendering
folks to fight for their dreams rather than relinquish.
An eye
for an eye leaves everyone blind
That we fail
to see the solutions we all seek to find
For ignominy
and futility have overtaken us
Leaving
behind bugs of burden to daunt and afflict us.
Let bygone
be the days we think like animals in the jungle
Upholding
the survival of the fittest to justify humanity’s hideous struggle.
The
good, the bad we strive to do
Live
after us for generations to hold on to.
On the
border line of segregation are society’s down-and-out
With
dour countenances for being a cast out
Of a
world they had hoped to make a difference;
Now
habituating piteously in despair due to what we call indifference.
With the
reflections radiating from our eyes,
Are the
revelations of how we’ve built our world with lies
For the
doing the wrong and calling it right
When we
really can’t tell what is wrong from what is right.
The past
can’t be undone
Rousing
in us disappointments to accept what has been done
And we
don’t know why
Hence,
we let go of the guilt but at times remember and cry.
