Up to Speed

Everything effects life and society.

Image via Wikipedia

Temptations a broken key,

In a lock of desperation.

Lusting for a perfect life,

Wishing for the impossible.

Lost in thoughts and emotions,

Dwindling on the edge.

Terror fed by imperfection,

Bringing down society.

    The darker you write the more I like. Great poem here Alc. They really are sad but true realities. Speak your truths as your literary voice is heard from over here.
