Poets corner: It Was Just An Illusion

Poets corner: It Was Just An Illusion

It was just a mirage

The truth is out

What was idolised and revered

Has wholly disintegrated

 

The West has fallen

Into an abyss

Its ideas and heroisms

Have been totally eclipsed

 

Where is the freedom?

Where is the justice?

What happened to humanity?

That it no longer exists?

 

The leaders are all incapable

A bunch of selfish imps

Enslaved by the greed of

that lone, bloodthirsty beast.

 

Brave kids across the globe

Fed up with pointless destruction

Voicing their support

But their cries fall on deaf ears

 

Don’t they understand

That madness creates madness

An endless cycle of violence

With no noble end?

 

If this world was the end,

Then I would be distraught

But I know my Allah

Will resolve and avenge.

No Doubt.
