All But a Dust
After all these ,we are all but a dust ,
Struggle to survive this present distrust
Our leaders have taken us for a ride ,
Affluence ,ego and wastefulness they pride.
Youth cried in silence for no one to trust ,
After all these ,we are all but a dust ,
Poverty reigns supreme in our nation ,
As some try to change to a new station .
Waywardness ,sadness and greed are abound ,
A cure to this craze has not been found ,
After all these ,we are all but a dust ,
Go to the morgue and see how people rust .
Feel pain in my heart as I write this write ,
Who will remove this tumor and do right?
Fake faces!, my heart is full of disgust ,
After all these ,we are all but a dust .
