The world's in uproar
a virus, no cure
Americans fighting against the
Police, what for this
time? A black man,
killed by a policeman
They scream racism, protesting
President declared martial law
I'm glad I don't
live there. But still
It's sad, so many
things are happening all
at once, I can't
keep track of everything.
I need some time
a time to pause
to think and reflect
"Those who can't remember
history will repeat it":
all they do is
talk about the past.
Too much time looking
back, this is why
we keep fighting over
the same things, like
equal rights and land
power and money and
materialistic items, which are
ultimately useless, after all
we are all the same
when we are buried
six feet under; there's
no difference between a
white man's skeleton and
a black man's skeleton.
The virus is causing
worldwide chaos, schools close
no education for us
I guess I'll fail maths
and religion, too, I
should have studied more
for the winter exams.
People are dying, and
all they talk about
on the news is
how many deaths there
are and how the
public are breaking rules.
High up politician breaks
quarantine, he drives for
miles to his parents
with his wife, children
no penalty for him.
"Exceptional circumstances", they say
Exceptional meaning that he
will do what he wants
he doesn't follow the
same rules as us,
the common people, the
large, panicked general public.
"Do as I say
not what I do"
One rule for them
another rule for us.
Time to pause, now
I think I'm thinking
too much, a common
occurrence in my head.
No one likes a
person who talks too
much, especially when they
know what they're talking
about. Good for me,
then, that I'm not
sure what these situations
mean, as I sit
here at home, alone,
writing a rambling commentary
on the human nature:
power, fame, and fortune.
It seems that's all
anyone cares about now.
Our "Leader" a puppet,
Who's pulling the strings?
The man who breaks
quarantine, as the nation
calls for his resignation.
Time to pause, after
all; I think I'll
stop talking now, and
go do something to
make my mind stop
thinking about things in
which I hold no
knowledge, stop it from
commenting on things which
it really has no
right to comment on.
I'll listen to my
music in the corner
and watch history repeat
itself endlessly, always led
by slavering, corrupt dogs.
