Twisted World

We live in a world Where all things are moving Where nothing halts Where nothing turns back Where all that it is is noise We live in a world Broken souls grace the streets Hopeless lives is all that it is Drive for money consumes minds Shuttered dreams we walk on We live in a world Where cruelty is honoured Where mercy is a suicide plea Where love is a trashed word Where pain is someone's cup of tea We live in a world Death is a wake up call A call that requires a heart that listens Listening is out of the context Words wind washed We live in a world Religion is all that is Routine is walking to church every Sunday No growth,no grace,no glory Jumping when the instruments are played Clapping when asked to Out of habit it is We live in a world Dependency has taken root Financial literacy is foreign Life is a hustle they all say Daughters taught to not try hard ''It's a taboo for you to be highly educated You must clean the dishes You have to cook You can't wear that Dresses at floor length Your hair done once a year All in the name of ''wife material'' Sons taught '' I pay the bills i make the rules '' It's a screwed nation Devoid of pity Ripped of mercy Backwardness clouds their thoughts Reprimands point all to revolutionists Till when? _kathomz??
