Broken World Poem by Abdul Basit Ismail

The earth on flight
The speed of light
Sounds of chaos
Men and riots
The world has lost its virginity
Struggling to hide its vulnerability
Breathable air is carbon monoxide
Water has united with mercury
Giving rise to milky, muddy
Water bodies
Babies on prenatal medicines
Pushing out their own babies
In the maternity
Do we deserve these modernity
Like how our young ones
Are turning to zombies
And vanity driving people
non compos mentis
Hypocrisy is now breakfast
And backbiting no longer
Requires huge tooth
How are we surviving while drowning
Suffocating in the ditches of poverty
When did the world reach such a peak
The earth on flight
The speed of light
Sounds of chaos
Men and riots
