Things Fall Apart Poem by David Olusanya

Things fall apart
morality is murdered.
Humanism's set to depart
harmony is hindered.

‘Tis a sinister season
with pain beyond reason.
Joy is sent on exile
sadness seems so agile.

Corruption is on the loose
honesty is hard to choose.
Greed is gorgeously grown,
oppression is on the throne.

Injustice is made a police
chaos is on the increase.
The truth is hard to speak
‘tis malady at its peak.

Preachers are lost in the gale
redemption is now for sale.
Sin is pardoned by grace
discipline is out of place.

Parents are partners in crime
‘tis money ‘O' clock on their time.
The kids are born for a show
they're misled amidst the flow.

"Things are falling apart
nemesis's about to start.
The sky is growing dark";
‘this's the song of a skylark.

David O. Olusanya
