Notice of absence from Poetic Licence
The weekend is here
Take a deep breath and
Relax.
The weekend is here
Take a deep breath and
Relax.
The world is round so we constantly told
Yet poverty and hunger hides in every corner.
Materialistic wealth is the life we are sold
Ignoring the masses that are even poorer.
A world were many people have far to much.
While thousands are left to waste away.
Our compassion now seems so out of touch.
As our greed costs people their life's everyday .
Its a TV screen
Or video game
Hand held life
Doesnt seem real
The people live
Social media dream
A hundred selfies
Unheard screams.
