Earthly Hell Poem by Okello Baloyi

Before birth, everyone wishes the best for the unborn but there's nothing good out here, only wealthless dreams and end with youth dying young, dreams went to casket before they turned into reality.

Boy meets girl and everyone turns into cheaters, and hearts be hurt in exchange. The boy seems to know much and won't take advice from his parents, but he only knows about shady life and inexperienced told or heard stories from unsuccessful people. And the youth think's they can handle substance abuse, but they turned into addicts.

They may say there's nothing for free, but the rich keep on taking from the less fortunate and the poor keeps on being drudge for the wealthy, while dreams of the less fortunate goes to waste. And the less fortunate seems like they bring more babies into life than those who can afford almost everything.

The boy is a man now and needs work, but the world is corrupted and education doesn't mean much, its either you get corrupted or work a programmed jobs with less salaries and die for a work that only benefits the stake holders of the companies.

The boy hopes for a perfect life with his wife and kids, but our sisters have grown in poverty and now they're prostitutes, or yearns for monetary relationships and some are addicts, abusing substance as if there's no hope for the youth. Now no one believes in real love, the unconditional one.

The world ignores reality, and differentiate each other by gander, race, morality, religion and anything that can put one aside. It's much harder to find a parking spot than to find a gun out here and death of another is just a conversation waiting to happen in this earthly hell.
