A Society In Despair by lekzytaker(m): 1:05pm On Jul 02, 2019
A SOCIETY IN DESPAIR
A Poem by
Abayomi Bakare


How long can we bare, how long can we share,
the best is yet to be here.
The society is in despair.

We all hope to see the sun,
we all hoped that the light would soon shine.

It comes too late, but not through fate to realize,
to realize that our fate cannot take us through the gate.

we've had so much to endure, that we can no longer feel the pain.
feel the pain of adversity, infirmity, and obscurity.

we were in despair, but we could not make repairs,
we thought of the society, we thought of ourselves,
we thought of how to make a change.

We always thought we could do it better than others.
But what we render, might not always be better;
not better than that of others,
not better than that of our brothers.

When things go wrong, we blame others.
when things work right, we take the glory.
But we all know that we are not truly holy,
neither are we worthy of that glory.

strive to become better says the preacher ,
because we have never been so far.
so far from the truth like now before time.

We blame society for evil,
we all wanted to crucify the government as the Devil.

But we have hate in our hearts,
we set traps on our paths.

let's take away the hate,
let's reduce the rate of our rage,
let us not live in the society of hate.
a society in despair, a society in despair.

Let's show love to our fathers, to our brothers, and to others.
so we can shake the hands of our friends
so we can wake the lights in our trends
