Confused

A Alas! I`m in a confused state, As I wonder in perpetual restlessness B Bind by different thoughts that are not mine, I keep remembering the good old days C Caught in the middle of fights that I don`t know of; I mellow down to understand this misery D Desperately looking for answers to solve these problems, I swim in false imagination of a better tomorrow E Even though I have doubts and fear, My optimism is lengthy and deep F Failure is running behind me with vigor, Which makes me pant like a wild dog G Goodness and mercy are shadows of themselves; Many are not keen in practicing them H How can I survive in a world of selfishness?, Where greediness and oppression linger continuously I I weep for the innocent children and orphans, As their rights are been relegated and denied J Jobs are not available for able-bodied youth, Now they engage in nefarious activities and idleness K Knowing that danger is imminent or near, I`m so keen to look for a way of escape L Life is no longer smooth and easy, Which has made some to go into solitary confinement M Men of valor turn into wingless chickens; While virtuous mothers cry like bush babies N No hope for the newborns and no faith in adults, As leaders usurp power and maltreat the electorates O On several occasions,promises made were not fulfilled; As wealth is acquired and stock into private accounts P Plights of the poor masses fall into oblivion; As everyone fights for his own selfish interest Q Quite sincerely ,where are the saints and martyrs?, Are they all gone or are they all in coma? R Racing against time is the new order and concept, People are in a hurry to get rich and famous S Seriously speaking security is no more Are we safe?,Eighty human heads found in sacks T “Tomorrow it shall be well”-it`s a fallacy, for the future looks like a mirage in arid land U Universally diseases spread like wide fire, Cancer ,Aids ,Lassa fever and now Ebola.. V Very soon money will be voted for the control of These diseases which is going to be embezzled W When would the good and righteous ones rule the world?, Time is running out and I`m getting impatient X X-ray carried out shows that more people are dying Of high-blood pressure due to stress and lack of rest Y Yet the leaders are less concern as they flourish in corruption and bask in the euphoria of their office Z Zealots are losing interest for they are discouraged, By this show of shame and cosmetic display. date:8-28-14
