Delude

How can enough be enough When lives are treated like garbage Picked from the gutters Thrown in the dump? How can earth be at peace When nature is disturbed And air is defiled constantly Yet superiors smile over it? When a poor mother Tries to save her child, From the emitting of carbon Burned by an industry close by, She is deluded and placed low Because superiors enjoy the advantages Caused by the disadvantages. Do not ask the masses to calm down When their lives are endangered, But you stand the chance to put an end To this awful beginning of the end That has placed mankind in disarray. As they try to let it out To fight in order to heal the world, To restore stability, They are rebuked by hierarchy, ‘Shhhh! Say no word’.

This world is a mess no matter where we live, God has to allow this to take place that people in a whole will be broken down and see man is the beast that has caused all this, people are going against the Bible more and more each day, I love your writing I can tell you put so much into it and seek better
