IS THERE STILL HOPE

Picture Source

Tell me if there is hope
When in this darkness I grope
When the blood in my veins cannot further flow
When my breathe cease cos' I freeze in this crazy cold

Sometimes, I wish we couldn’t see beyond
This flimsy façade, the reproach, and the deceit
Sometimes, I wish we couldn’t perceive beyond
This thin brutal cloak o’er my eyes drawn

We live in a place
Where there’s hunger, peril, disasters and death
We live in a land
Where the hope of a common man is shattered.

I’m a citizen in a country
Where animals control the treasury
I belong to a race of people
Who brandish lies with a brazen impunity

My soul is disturbed; my heart heavily laid
My eyes are bedewed when I reminisce about these things
Will you still tell me there is hope?
When this darkness cloud me so bad, my sight gone.
