Crumble


May the house of cards fall

Crumble

Try to catch the ball but fumble

May it trip down the stairs in a clumsy stumble

Tumble down old ways, only goodness & love stay

Good riddance corruption & lies - time for the people to rise

Exit this Land of Illusion, this Broken System

That wasn’t really broken but just built that way

Lies and deceit filled our pretty streets

But we the people stand together, & we’ll have our say

For there are many more of us than them

And the day will come where they will pay

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
