The Curse

I live in a time,

A time full of hate,

Nothing but selfishness,

Stands at the gates.



As greed and corruption,

Rise above all,

Who can stand up to them,

And fight for the cause.



It’s hard not to see,

All the pain and misery,

It’s hard not to hear,

Them crying in fear,

It’s hard not to notice,

Where it’s going wrong,

It’s easy to turn,

A blind eye to it all.



I live in a time,

A time with no peace,

Faceless bureaucracy,

No one can defeat.



Can we ever learn,

Not to repeat,

Mistakes of the past,

To live in harmony.



It’s hard not to see,

All the pain and misery,

It’s hard not to hear,

Them crying in fear,

It’s hard not to notice,

Where it’s going wrong,

It’s easy to turn,

A blind eye to it all.
