Literature Text

The pain, the agony; the blackness I see
Oh you baffled fool! The choices you made
Was it really that hard to be?
A man of dream, a man of thought
You are a conspirator in the decay of man
You would sell your flesh if someone bought
Answer me, why is your struggle not profound?
Why is your sight fixed to the ground?
You are all traitors of Him
For you to rise above all was His whim

Sorry sir, my humblest apology
For you see I have not eaten since last night
And to think and speak is hard for me
So, I would leave the thinking to all you wise
Right now I think water and crumbs would suffice.

That's a big problem, no doubt. that's a big issue in many countries, the government forget to treat the people and deals with things which are less and less important in the local sense. The people go hungry, fear, frustration. This is a very troubling issue you wrote about.

This is a very interesting read though, because you touched religion there, and it's interesting how you brought that in. Unfortunately those issues, which seem to be the easiest to solve of all the world's problems, are the thing that the world deals less and less with. Hopefully people will wake up.
