The sky leaks twilight tears,
as the earth crumbles backwards
to old times and old fears.
Life's balloon deflated, losing air,
with hope's last breath – beyond repair.
-=-
Battles won now rewound in time
things given, taken back, no longer mine.
The soul of the people have lost all
reason and rhyme. A world gone tense,
no longer sublime.
-=-
Echoes of love silenced by screams,
Freedom merely a forgotten dream.
The world turned into a hateful meme
The way it used to be, no longer seen.
-=-
Free speech disappears in a puff of smoke,
where no one understands the true meaning of woke.
"Love one another" reduced to just a distant joke.
The wheel of time has lost all it's spokes.
-=-
Empathy dead, in a world now blocked,
Fake people with their hearts locked,
follow so called kings, leading with
hatred, those they call their flocks.
-=-
We must unite and stop this decay!
Heal the puncture, seize a brighter day!
Promote Love, revive truth and empathy regain,
Then together we'll rise, no longer in pain.
