State Of The World Poem by Nichole Pettit

There's this voice
In my head
It tells me life's not fair
But you gotta move on
And Be strong
The world's gotten wrong
And life's too long
Trying to stay Strong
While life's no good

No more love
Only hate
Time ta face our fate
Now they wanna abdicate
Its way to late

Pass the blame
To who knows what
The future is bleak
Will will they ever speak?

Life's not simple
The past is a ripple
In the minds
Of those left far behind

Pebble in the rift
Log in the drift
The future we call misfit
Just needs us to lift it

Its not right
And its not okay
But, at the end of day
We'll pay
Our dues will overcome
And we'll answer to Kingdom Come
