World
Winter of revelations
Rationed sunlight
Daylight savings and economic depressions
Lost jobs, welfare schemes, divided families
Drugged teens, abusive deans, suicidal dreams
Mortgages, republicans, Obamanomics
Global villages, borrowed monies, bailout packages
School dropouts, Outsourced to India, Made in China
Yes you can, yes you can’t
Middle East, jihad and Jerusalem
Hollywood, Bollywood, Dream factories
Greed, Excess, Blood and Gore
False prophets, Vigilantes, Moral Custodians
Culture, pluralism, clash of civilizations
Cornered hope, common man, is it so in heaven?
Hope floats, twilight zone, will thy kingdom come?
