We Are Not As We Used To Be. Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

The whole life
As we know
Is not goodright now
Simply because people and
Things are not happy
As they used to be before...
Everyone complains from
Those ongoing wars around us and
Peace is not easy to be reached now...
Life has become very complicated
Due to bad things that
Happen around us...
We are no more
As used to be
Due to many reasons which
We greatly ignore...
People get poor
Due to lack of many things
Which are not known at all...
We look around just
To find poverty and misery
Anywhere and everywhere...
No one knows
What's going around!
Everything dwindles badly
Even our good deeds and
They are replaced with
Clear cruelty from
Everything and
From everyone around us...
We are not
As we used to be...
