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’.
