The World is Broken
Not Staying Silent This Time
I’m scared
I’m truly deeply petrified of the world
The world, coated in pretty sunsets and
songs but which in fact is rotten to the
core
A place where women aren’t privileged
to live a life carefree
Where their visible shoulders and thighs
are the apparent root of all their miseries
Where kids are held at gunpoints and
adults are left out on the street to die
Depression, Anxiety and Suicidal
tendencies, all that’s left common among
the millennial and the gen z’s
Where men lose their lives, trying to
chase a client
Staying up till five, hustling to earn the minimum wage, believing it to last until
the end of their lines
I wake up every day only to find myself
back into a world ruled by capitalism
and the delusional leaders of major faiths
Where Fascism and Nazism aren’t buried
words of the past, but rather practices
endorsed by regimes leading us onto
broken paths
So I pull up my socks and fake a smile
trying to get by every day
Wait, that didn’t rhyme, did it?
Well guess what, neither does my life
ruled by patriarchy and a severely broken economy
A ‘legacy’ left by the people who still
believe that climate change is a hoax
created by ‘hipsters’ and the people who
ironically don’t have a job
So don’t get too comfortable as the
revolution has just begun
With children out on the streets,
marching and fighting for what we
believe is right
Flag and voices are the weapons of our
choice, to dismantle years of prejudice
and purify the world in the depths of fire
to ignite a one where human lives matter
