What do we need to do?

What do we need to do?

To enjoy life
Be good
Live well
Rest peacefully
Be honourable
There is so much poverty
It spirals out of control
I see it with my naked eyes
You see so much wealth
It hits you in the face
In this world
You up you down
Guilty and innocent
Hunger co - exists side by side with affluence
I am like a little pawn
They throw genetically modified food
I must consume
You told – do not kill
Yet, there is many killings
Speculators’ get currency to tumble
You left depleted
Scientists’ gives alarming figures
You worry to your wits
And wonder who is next?
My cousin, my brother, my uncle
Almost everybody I know
Is touched by HIV\AIDS
I search for answers
Nothing gives way
I am told faith take you to heaven
Skepticism takes you to hell
I may not fit the profile
The mind game continues
You work very hard
You have nothing to show for it
You think of witchcraft
Who can bewitch you anyway?
You own nothing
You have no palace
That is almost life for me
It not about who you are
What remains is to live
Make something before I vamoose
