The 21st Century Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

Thought upon thought
Memory upon memory
Tears on tears
Yet the world continues to roll on its puke

Obsessions n' animosities
Pain, strife n' conflicts
Avarice n' political scuffling for power
Blindly, the world titters while on the precipice of self-destruction

Complications n' sophistications
The confusion of science n' religion in the hands of the evil
That renders modernity thoughtless n' all feelings
All vanities crying out for a cure
