2015
A generation gradually losing its humanity,
Its occupants drifting further from the realm of sanity,
Buried under the futile burden of trivialities,
Yet blinded to life’s ulterior brutalities.
An age where death from obesity is common,
Yet the seed of starvation continues to blossom.
From the overseas sufferers, who fight for life each day,
To the ignorant and selfish, who throw this gift away.
It’s disappointing to see how deep society has fell,
Down the self-made rabbit-hole to an abysmal hell.
