Today’s Reality

Time spools

moving forward to the unknown

blurring the past

memories

heartaches.

One never knows what the future will bring

we only know what the past has held

the fears

the joys

the history

of mankind

of ourselves.

Lost in a wellspring of time

wrapped in the chains of the past

writhing to escape

wanting to be free for the future

wanting to be able to look forward to

a time

where there is no strife

no war

no abuse

no killings

no hate mongers

railing at the populace.

Today

the world is falling backwards

a reversal

a loss of integrity

morals

of feeling that all are interconnected.

What abounds now…….

mass murderers ruling countries

frauds

liars

misogynistic imperialism

believing one knows better than weaker sex.

Stand tall

break free

bring them to their knees.

Until prejudice

entitled mentalities are destroyed

forever more

we shall continue to fall

back to the stone age.
