Drowning fish

Gravity has fallen
And friction: slid.
In my head,
The birds are blooming
The flowers are singing.
All life has killed;
Now death reli(e)ves.
I have seen better days
Only when I closed my eyes,
So I let out this raging silence.
And I see the kids bred with hunger,
The distastefulness;
You could almost taste.
And I watch’em all become slaves to freedom.
So I let out this raging silence.
Living together, solitarily.
Lying to be trusted.
Warring for peace.
Giving to the rich,
Stealing from the poor.
How funny this tragedy is.
So in this small big world,
I
Am a drowning fish.

Thanks.

Punctuations are vital in poetry, use them well. Thumbs up.

Wow, lying to be trusted that's a punch line. I think the poem is trying to say that the morals that people preach is opposite what they do. And that if you follow what they preach or say, your life will be like that of a drowning fish because everything is up side down.
