A Poem

The obliteration of alliteration

Waiting for liberation

Through visitation

Living in stagnation

The harsh realities of our society

We are tasting

A wasting disease

Hoping one day it will ease

Begging for mercy on our knees

Hoping to be rid of this world

Where all live under a pyramid

Of a system that hasn’t changed

Since time immemorial

Constantly feeling like we missed the tutorial

Grasping for control

We continue to roll down hill

Chasing the next thrill

One last thing to make it all feel a little more real

Reeling from the continuous killing on the reel

Fields of barren waste

Flooded with faces daily

Screaming, “just pay me!”

But we have to wait and see

What will become of our reality

A perpetual fallacy
