The World We Lost
Once the sunrise walked beside us , soft as untouched dawn on our shoulders . Where justice warm in our blood whispered her tired truth .
But something shifted in the spine of the world . A chain broke that ... I witness amoung thee earth . Whipping earth with its iron rod violence of power for all to taste with a side dish pulling humanity backwards ,barefoot through the dust into the shadows of fear and all we could do is watch our freedom dying dim like a lantern , flickering against the wind of cruelty while the world grew heartless in it's hunger . Feeding on the trembling of the vulnerable , for freedom was not just a figment of our memory anymore . It's like a ghost has erased it from our existence along with the winds of time .
Our elders warned us of storms carried by times of the future. Where kindness would die . Empathy would rot to nothingnes even justice would dissolve without sound . Leaving only a stain behind on this earth of oh well our indifference to a world whom is hollow now . A carcass with no spirit inside . Not of sun , not of soul , not of memory ... We merly exist only as remnants . For not even our nightmares will come to save us .
A dead world drifting in a dead air you and I walk . I bet in this soulless realm time does not move . Its our illusion which betray us ... that we decay and allow everything to collapse into itself . A slow implosion of everything that ever mattered for I no longer cry unto this grey cold world for I am simply empthy. A hollow vessel closing my eyes unto the universe whom died long time before I even noticed it cross bow road .
Brick by brick equality begs at close doors . Mmh and resilience kept rising through ache as I remain to stay blind as freedom was never a privilege but a birthright. Oh how has discrimination learned us by names before some of us even had spoken because humanity is not yet done breathing peace though it seem unreal today waiting for us in the space beyond feat and the ashes of the world cruelty to release her for that I may open my eyes and watch the world bloom for you and I to dare to dream again of universal peace of a world whom is already dead .
