When All Hope Becomes Blur

by Parizo Van Thulare

We are all born to be Daughters and the sons
As time goes by it all changes 
The  Good life we Hoped for Slowly slips
It Gets Tougher  when change sips

The journey to Hustle Starts 
Some roll the dices 
Some run the races
We all chase the paper
We chase perfection 
But then mother nature strikes trough 

only few survive the wave
Those who are helpless get stuck in vain 
Those who are advantageous get to see the rain 
That Sweet Love We Longed for changes its lanes
Hate takes over our hearts 
Only few marriage ceremonies Befall 
But plenty of funerals 

The road starts to tangle 
The path starts to have too many sails
The journey grows thorns 
The chances of success  become  rare
Survival of the fittest becomes the ruling party 
Hope evades to the future 
 faith and  morality slowly extinct
