Absurdism

It's absurd to think we're surrounded by love
Children shed tears, malnourished and maltreated, Men go to war, fight, and die without justice, Women are dejected by society, bounded by clothes of a prostitute. It's absurd to think we even have laws Murderer at every corner, masked by innocent skin, Debauchery spearheaded by the government, Unblemished souls sat quietly at their cage. It's absurd to think that legacies will last forever. While memories fade, people forget, Papers scorched by fire, books damped by rain, My voice last only to be an echo, then into oblivion. It's absurd to think of what is true If we believe only what's naked to the eye, Or refuse to believe at all, taking refuge, In nightmares and dreams, in hallucinations and illusions. It’s absurd to think that everything is impossible When black and white are already a color, When only paper flowers are given between lovers, When children burden everyday labor, and adults, their leisure. It’s absurd to think of tangible dreams When these dreams are achieved with only temporary dreams, When life is here, death will come, and in the end We’ll wake walking through pavements of broken dreams It's absurd to think the idea of normal and success If fools believe they're wise, and the wise, a fool When success uses blood as money and flesh as steppingstones Drench in our natural insanity. I truly believe in absurdism ~~ Sorry for this, I feel like that it's still so incomplete. And that it's too.....WORDY Guys, I'm 14
