DREAD
Kids are afraid to grow up,
their dreams are fascinating
but the ambience is threatening.
Bothered enough to query,
what do we become that have not been compromised?
Adults are scared of living
and life herself stood over there
merely staring from afar.
What we are doing, we are feeling;
the immediate repercussions
of allowing our dark side out.
This, we have done to ourselves;
we knew but failed to realize,
we heard but failed to listen
that what we do to the next man standing
we have done to humanity in entirety.
Evil was locked up by nature
Man deciphered the passcode,
now it is out and there is nowhere to hide.
In honesty, diligence and simplicity,
all streets could have enjoyed tranquility
But instead, the unleashed we all have to battle
