Chaos Reigns

The world was thrust into chaos
thanks to COVID-19
supposedly the deadliest virus
mankind has ever seen

 

It stole millions of souls
left families shattered to grieve
while conspirators in shadows
kept spinning lies we’re told to believe

 

But something far deadlier
is raging out of hand
the plague of violence and racism
still poisoning the land

 

Religious wars and entitlement
over borders, soil, and sand
the war machines keep rolling
devouring forests, meadows, and man

 

Corrupt shepherds in government
lead their political sheep
straight to the slaughterhouse gates
while war-pigs wallow in millions they keep

 

We’re pawns in their endless game
divided, fearful, and blind
as chaos tightens its grip
on the soul of humankind

 

Yet deep in the darkness
a whisper begins to rise
the people awaken together
and open their weary eyes
