Things Fall Apart

i wake up every morning questioning my entire existence they say i must be persistent but i ask myself is god really present or absent you folks say to make it i have to be obedient Things fall apart friends became enemies gravity seems to be my worst enemy all my plans seems to be rearranged things i wanted to establish and accomplish have perished and vanish they say the world is round and yet i think is a square so many hurts we get from corners here and there Things fall apart the sky is covered with a dark cloud i try to speak but my voice is not loud i tried to blend in the crowd but i always standout all my brothers are school dropouts my sister works as a checkout girl they said heavens gate was built to keep me out moments like this i ask God's whereabouts Things fall apart Just as we say things are getting better sweeter and tastier, they turn sour and bitter the sky just fall in the middle of a storm the trees are unfruitful the rivers are dry our crops in the field are devoured before harvest time my eyes are all red and swollen from the tears that shed my mothers knees are red from kneeling down and praying for a miracle her knuckles are frozen from knocking on heavens door her voice is all cranky from shouting hoping god can hear her Things fall apart mom lost her job daddy got retrenched at his grandma has a disease that has no cure soon she will departure to the heavens above relatives have turned into strangers rags and shreds cover my body my little sister singing is my rhapsody of reality as we stand firm together in unity.
