Is The Present Better Than the Past? Poem by Sandra Feldman

Down the road to Hell
They, of lying tongue
And bitters spells
Say, 'Everything is going
Well! '
Maybe it is for Them
Those that think that
Lies and Crime and Violence
Are, Industries that manufacture
Prosperity and contentment,
On the way to Hell.

Living in a place that is deranged
Like, Alice in Thunderland,
Cannot be explained,
A return to the Middle Ages
When Serfs had no claims.
As life was something
Totally unfair and encircled
By everlasting, chains.
