Demise

Devoured by hatred and greed;
Where everything seems irrational,
Where eternity continuously paints
Pictures of sorrow,

A place where all faces
Fade to black,
Where the aroma of death
Creeps within every breath we take,

A life in which,
We fear to live,
Where our joy triggers 
The hesitation and doubts 
About us living a better life,

Racism, discrimination, prejudice…
How long are they going to stay?
Political issues and all the nonsense;
People think they’re
Finding the salvaging ways to salvation
And peace, 

Liberating the world
Into more chains,
Bleeding the eyes of the 
Truth that watches all the lies;
It lingers to free the world,
But the world begins to slowly vanish,

Democracy,
A word that is here
For justice, 
A word that waits for a moment,
The most vital moment of time …
A word that holds the strongest meaning
Of a free and happy life…

“DEMOCRACY”
Our voices have to yell…
Until the last second of all time…
Demise
