Time is laden and bereft, skies overcast and grey
As hopes promise seems to fall so far away,
The world full of trouble doom and gloom
A broken system delivering unease for us to consume,
People left stranded in shadows of depression
Instead of being carried by emotions of jubilation,
Thoughts held captive by forces of attrition
Persistent provocation, executing demolition,
There is sorrow and too much fragility
Depths of sadness releasing torrents of tragedy,
Tears keep flowing as sustenance fails to deliver
Primordial floods releasing portals to shiver,
The living ain't easy, but at least we are alive
Struggling through biting deterents, with aim to survive,
Beyond the apathy of fools, breaking on through
Undeterred, finding brighter vistas to pursue,
So as not to let hearts become further broken
Beyond despair hold on to positive emotion,
Clearing all obstacles from your head
Cling on to branches of respite instead,
Close those sad eyes and dream awhile
Beyond melancholy release a smile,
Though blurred horizons will call and confuse
Malignant politicians continue to abuse,
Search for logic and reason to console
We can reverse the weight with mind and soul.
