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 .

There is certainty of a downward spiral that you point out very well; and there is certainty that we all shall return to dust. May we choose to hope, love, and have faith. That is the only escape. There is always hope. Enjoyed the read. Keep writing my friend.
