Life Through the Dust

Life through the dust Hard labor through the concrete jungle Manifest by the powerful dictators. Empty promises, eating there own words. Children walk through the dark with knifes. Hoodlums, youth gangsterism Glares. Civilization rant, harlotry blooms. Online brothel, living borrowed time. Great potential turning to invalid rascals. Ho! Life through the dust Manifest by the powerful dictator Government disarray, kleptocracy reign Embezzlement dazzling, job devoid Poverty booms, murder. Violence, the air stench terrorism stares, Religious scandals Blood splits dyed the society The gentle dusty-wind doth moves Large population lived in slum Poor health standard zoom Silently, hiddeness, soul perished The bigwigs consume from the bane of other The one who make their home besides our ribs Life through the dust snare. The truth is lost, We fall to dust.
