Disillusionment

Disillusionment by Bubbles Kandhari

Relations today are simply fair weather

It is only money, money and money that matters

There is no kith there is no kin

Money wins over everything.

We are embedded with the dirt of lust and greed

It makes us forget our own breed

Who says blood is thicker than water

Relationships now are cold as cement and mortar.

Kill each other, grab with all the might

What need not even be our right

‘‘I am the owner of all I survey’’

Is all what we would love to say

With all this can we get away

God cannot let it be that way.

How can we build our base on other’s right

Does our conscience never bite

Surely we know the wrong we do

Then why do we do, all that we do.

By wrong means the things we acquire

Will never be there when we require

Easy come and easy goes

All that will remain are tales of woes.

Our near ones listen

But pretend to stay clear

They will always say

They cannot interfere.

They pretend to be nonchalant

But play both sides using their talent

They enjoy this drama from a distance

But will not be of true assistance.

No one has the courage to say what is right

Each have their own reason to fight

To trust ones own has become a crime

There are crooks roaming a dozen a dime

If you are trusting you are called stupid

The world today is of the crooked

There is no respect for age or relation

When it is power all is forgotten.

Deeper and deeper we fall into this pit

Where are all our values? Simply forget it

A messiah today is what we need

To remind people to do good deeds

If then the crooks still wear the crown

Then God almighty will have to come down.
