Swimming in our own blood,
Drowning in our own tears,
Burning in our own fire,
Being blinded by our own light.
Living in the hell that we so feared,
Walking the walk of shame,
Shameless.
All the good deeds,
Forgotten,
In the black hole that is evil.
We are the future
Living in the past.
The sky has no longer a sun,
The child's eyes are no longer innocent,
Lives are taken each day,
We rape each other emotionally,
Constantly.
We are no longer safe,
We don't see the big picture,
Our hearts are corrupted,
Our sins living in our eyes,
We are crucified for our mistakes
And we crucify them for theirs.
We are hypocrites criticizing hypocrisy.

WELCOME MARI ~ Pleased you are enjoying the site ! Thanks fora very powerful poem on a very KEY WORD in the 21st Century ~ HYPOCRISY ! I agree with you final line "We are hypocrites criticizing hypocrisy". This is inevitable in "The Age of Hypocritese". Your very graphic opening describes how we are ~ not just as individuals ~ but also Nationally and Internationally Swimming ~ Drowning ~ Burning ~ Blinded by our OWN ~ blood - tears - fire - light. . We are the Future ~ living in the Past. There is much food for thought here ~ Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours BRIAN (UK).
