2018
Gabi
New turn,
New year,
“Objectionable” youthquakes: never languishing
Both sides with more idealism than realism,
Violentism shakes the Earth.
Entanglement ensues,
Always wrapped in our own warped world.
Contending, disputing, quarrelling
Our quandary only burgeoning,
Devastation sweeping society,
Vile disputes unfolding
Not an issue to be acclimatized.
A lack of vigor from elder generations; as though it seems at first
So we become our own emissary,
Disciplined for disrupting,
Becoming tangled in our own debates,
Nonetheless a betwixt problem,
One with abominable influence and imprints,
Solutions affirming nor conceding
