Drained

The heart bleed tears from faces
Entwined with pessimism
Kin to defeatism
Of what cause should we dine?
While our hopes and dreams
Lay in tatters of ruin
Bellies as barren as the land
With echoes of yesteryears
Made one with the blood of Abel
Still wailing for restitution
High hopes for a better end
For the body was dust
Yet the soul lives on, infinite
Weeping lips gone slack
Strength drained
Borne on the wings of neglect
The rich also cry
When the going gets tough
His offspring a pawn on placebos
Camouflaged in syringe
Destitute woke to hardship
Another day of endless trudging
Should we cry to the Creator?
Our eyes blank from fixation
With inflation, dumped on heads
Cluttered hitherto with endless to-dos
There's a watcher, poised to strike
Tell that to the masses
Who threw in the trowel eons past
Tackling its lot, with cumbersome burden
If he stumbles now and then who cares?
A feast, another life spawn
To shoulder its share of pain
Ah! It's a repetition of normalcy.
