Overwhelmed with sorrow Like there’s no hope for tomorrow People acting worse than heartless machines Executing convoluted warped-up schemes A suicide here, a bombing there Oppression & injustice everywhere Conspiracies abound, theories prevail The truth forever silenced, mysteries remain Our imaginations roam free That is our one release For thoughts are monitored And speech suppressed What’s left, remains Just fancy dress There is no depth No tangible emotion Fake living that stifles Despite all the provocation What will it take to speak out? How many more must die before we act? When will we refuse to be judged? What will it take to have no regrets? Cowardice and seeking a status quo Will not liberate us or help us grow “A life well lived, a legacy for generations” We pay lip-service, which defeats our nations Enough of this trauma and fear Enough of this killing and greed Life is but short, made shorter still By the madness of others, who choose to kill To have any hope for a better tomorrow We must put an end to this heartbreaking sorrow Speak out and act now, tomorrow is too late The alternative is a future, filled with hate Life is much simpler than turf wars and collusion So rise above all this smoke-screening confusion We are not defined by religion & nationalities Let’s aspire to being human beings first and stop these fatalities Not in my name or yours I beseech you But above all else, never in humanity’s name Our one common bond, our sole uniting factor, Should be what holds us together And leaves us only stronger
The Middle East has and clearly always will be in a state of incessant turmoil. Oppressed Palestinians, "ISIS" infiltration & savagery, Syrian Refugees, Suicide Bombings, Unexplained events & Conspiracy Theories abound; the pot is boiling over and we remain as ever, perplexed and inconsolably impotent. To say these are sad times is to understate what we are living through. I have never seen such a constant state of flux that only gets worse. What hope I ever had for humanity is swiftly dissipating. https://www.facebook.com/notes/rula-zein-iddin/fed-up-with-humanity/10154316422573294?pnref=lhc.
