Title: Shattered Skies
The world is so dim, filled with shadows and pain,
Nations locked in a grim dance, freedom they strain.
Diseases raging, taking lives with their might,
While bandits sow chaos, taking blood with each fight.
Hunger strikes relentlessly, never subsiding,
And ulcer sits as if innocence is hiding.
Our leaders, so blind, ignorant in their stance,
Their arrogance claims our hopes with a callous advance.
Where do we go from here, when all roads seem blocked?
Who can we call friends, when enemies are stocked?
Who do we call fathers, when truth is obscured?
And do we call mothers when harlotry's allured?
The pots of hope have shattered, dreams left unspoken,
And the hunger in our eyes, restless and unbroken.
But in our hearts, a flicker of resilience remains,
A yearning for peace, to break free from these chains.
