The Rotting Year

Eaten from the inside out, poisoned by despair

Swallowed in misfortune, drowning in thin air

Led by intention, we failed our duty

Progress has been erased, back to 1963

Damned by a coax, we've disgraced our promise

Stripped of our humble, ridiculed, suppressed

Mortified by difference

Disheaertened by stress

Humans are being nullified, exterminate this mess! 

Through doing all the "great things", 

Evolvement is rejected

Torment comes to play, and the less are unprotected

Every strive to rejoin the system, 

Ravages the unwanted

Power may brainwash the impressionable, 

And leave the rest in injustice

This poem is about: 
Me
My family
My community
My country
