What Have We Become Poem by Dave Alan Walker

What Have We Become

Rating: 4.8


What have we done
what have we become
we have made a world of nothingness
out of power and greed


Love is a fading fantasy
as money becomes everything
no honour no love
loyalty just a name


The only thing that remains the same
is the grave we are put in

Profound is the conclusion. Power and greed rule the roost. Hope we realize this and live this life.

Yes, though harsh to hear but very true, our unending greed and desires had put us nowhere in deed.
