Helplessness and anxiety,

Life - a feeble existence

Fleeting and frail,

Death - a befitting end.

The notions of humans

both destructive and pure

Acting upon selfishness,

What a monstrosity.

Weak but strong willed

Survivability or self service?

We often prove ourselves

through violence and pride

How sinful one must be?

The atrocity of a living being,

those powerful and all knowing,

destroys the impoverished society.

A standard of convenience,

Pushing so-called rights when wrong.

A law with special exceptions,

Would that make the world a better place?

A clear difference between correct and right.

But people only see what they want.

Turning a blind eye for the sake of their own.

I can do whatever I want, they say.

Placing our hopes upon the new generation,

But what have they learned from their ancestors?

To cheat, to kill - the desperation,

Using all means just to acquire what they want.

What is a real future without you in it?

That silent wish for change,

the modification of the world -

most definitely starts with our own hands.
