Lost Humanity
Dreams unrealized....
Visions blurred....
Hope forsaken....
The lighting candle blown off....
The light at the end of the tunnel is from an oncoming train....
Love lost...
Unity contaminated...
Storms blowing in and out...
The charm we wear is deceptive...
Frowns have replaced smiles...
The peace we had sabotaged with insecurity...
Tranquility has surrendered to unrest
Sadness has been left for us to embrace...
Unity has given way to division..
Detest and malice has taken the beta part of us...
Brotherhood is no longer of essence...
Selfishness has slowly and smartly crept in...
Infidelity is our daily bread as one is just not enough
Love is no longer perceived as a virtue to be upheld but an act of naivety..
Daughters informing on mothers, sons colluding against fathers...
And am left to wonder
When did the page turn?
When did we lose grip?
When did animosity trade places with humanity
And just when…. when....
Did we begin having this human nature?
