BETTER LIFE WE PRAY. {AN ORIGINAL POETRY}

Take it or leave it,
True Life isn't the air passing through our nostrils,
But the ability to make life worth living
Even though the place we live in is filled with blues.

Paint it blue,
Colour it black,
With any dimension of your choice
On any object you grab.

Life will never ever offer everyone their wishes
But it can gladly offer everyone captivity
Without any clue of being captivated
In the shackle of poverty.

Freedom! Freedom!! Freedom!!!
A situation everyone demand for,
But only few people have access to it,
While the struggle to freedom continues for others till death.

What are we to gain without being able to decide for ourselves?
When will we be able to do things without being oppressed by the strong?
When will our rights be treated with equality?
When!

Though we are not in prison
But we are encage in the cage of slavery
While we go around fighting for how to overcome the problems caused by injustice.
With our mind completely insane to gain justice.

Though we live in a place where oxygen is free
But we are not free,
In an era where freedom is life,
In a place where time is money.

Though we gain access to life
But many live partially.
Not because they are sick
But because they are not free from oppression.

Then we patiently watch
And we pray for the restoration of Justice
In the world where injustice have become a norm
And justice is synonymous to war.
