The Blind Deaf
Power ripped away the expectations of posterity
Leaving the hopeless and powerless-
Resigned to insecurity and inferiority
Feud is juxtaposed with greed
As myriad families-
Find it yet impossible to feed
Men are quick to justify-
But the objective of warfare
To the harsh neglect of-
The provision of a decent healthcare
An infant dies before his first birthday
Whiles teenagers fear-
But their retirement and old age
The arms of dreams are hard twisted
Rendering the thoughts of men-
Fragile and neglected
Brutality is cherished by queens and kings
Yet on their fingers,
They wear democratic bracelets and rings.
While we spit in the face of due diligence-
Responsibility is shirked with all meekness
And the sensitivity of the masses-
Wallow in a ditch of profound soreness
Mercy and empathy are both despised
Wherefore in the political realms-
Poverty remains under-priced
About the truth, facts are rumored
When under deceptive
and obsessed voices-
The ears of the weak are tutored
Selfishness is sewn in the air
And into the faces of disregard and impossibility-
Our women and children continually stare.
With a sip from the cup of supremacy
Apparently, authority suffers-
An immediate abuse
And the rule of law-
dealt an unflinching blow of misuse
Men kiss the feet of arrogance-
Perpetrate gravious horror
All in a sub-graded pretense
And yet, in the end,
We all feature in a roll of honor.
