The Age of Deception: A Poem
when a truth can not be seen
when an error is considered normal
when crime is okay if you are not exposed
while our mouth is only locked with a gray gaze.
Today everyone is free to feel right without hesitation
while over there are bowed bashfully
while in that part there is a corner of sorrow
whereas at the forefront there are only con artists who want to be famous
while at the back there is a setback and forced to silence
Right now, me and you or all of us are in a circle of life
we could have collided because we were already fighting
we can just laugh happily only in pretense
we could cry alone intentionally to cover up
we can all blur our vision and then pray for our own pleasure
We are already in this period
beautiful women wearing bikinis
Respected children are accustomed to seeing parents blasphemed
religious experts are busy reading other people's beliefs
parents teach impoliteness
while the leaders applaud the people who are tormented by regulations
We are already in the age of Deception
Friends are considered opponents
while you are forgotten by the world's busyness
the parents talk to the clasped person
while children are disturbed by ignorance
all at once quiet as a grave
maybe we stepped on footwear with pride.
when we know about a time
which we named the era of Deception
It is never too late
although a little good keep on doing
although not remembered continues to be useful
Even though we have all been deceived, we are still helpless
stands with patience as proof of LIFE.
