New Poetry - "Wasteland"

Wasteland


everywhere and all around me
all i see is sin and death
broken people breaking people
mothers fathers brothers sisters
friends lovers politicians priests,
false prophets all, leading lemmings off a cliff
lost souls swimming, drowning in denial
earthquakes of hatred bring tsunami’s of pain

beginning to feel that all beauty and joy
is an illusion
all love, plastic and fake
so sitting here in Culture’s wasteland
is it any wonder all i see
is sin and death?

all…i see…is sin…and death
