What Have We Become? Poem by Luxolo LUKAS

We drunk from the cup of gall
Bitterness is all that we taste
Soul full of anarchy
Mind seized to reason
The heart clotted by anger

Where have we gone wrong?
What have we done?

Our heart's deprived the right
Soul and mind in constant fight
Slaves of own selfishness
We strive to entertain our own rations
Humanity equated with cruelty
Yet grinning a friendly beam

What have we done?
What have we become?

Unknowingly agents employed
Ruled by the evil one,
Selfish greedy vessels powered,
Full Of ammunition satisfying inner
Hungry self
Slaves of freedom
Prisoners of greed

What have we become?
What happened to us?
