Days of the Fools

The world is ravaged
and its soul is damaged
innocents are caged
but wolves are free
to roam around the city
everywhere is a complete mess
yet everyone feels blessed
despite the chaos
the world seems joyous
these days … are the days of the fools!

There are no homes
but rather houses
erected all over the places
families deteriorate
crimes escalate
schools and churches are on the rocks
like concrete walls that cracked
no longer are institutions of hope
but rather structures of failures
these days … are the days of the fools!

Values erode
people become crooks
and could not get off the hook
wealth is power
politicians sit on ivory tower
disparity widens between classes
the rich becomes richer
the poor becomes poorer
freedom is lost
among the good and the godly
responsibility is replaced by greed
unjust competition replaces cooperation
these days … are the days of the fools!
