This situation seems to be beyond everyone

Or we are all cowards hiding behind close doors?

We hide behind closed doors and throw shots

For fear of getting killed or being a scapegoat

We have seen the script play out many times too

Lives lost with no sense of accountability or restitution

Gone and faded into oblivion with fading memories

Except for those closer to the victims who bear the deeper scar

We have voiced out and yet we got silenced

We have passed the message across but fell on deaf ears

We have been bullied, ignored, killed and ridiculed

Patriotism has been kicked to the curb

While our leaders dance to the tune of broken promises

Those who swore to protect us now seek to draw our blood

The expect compliance from the citizens but they are the lawbreakers

Civilization is in danger

When those who have never learned to obey

Are given the rights to command

This country is in a mess and how do we get out?

Maybe you can relate to this too regarding your country

It's scary that the future looks bleak with burnt dreams

Thank you for your time.


My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
