The End of The

Fucking World

By: Asia Johnson

It feels like the end is painfully near

While we numbly scroll on ignoring our fear

The world’s burning to ashes and the rivers overflow

And our brothers and sisters are being forced into shadows

Everyday another headline, another baby’s been killed

Another unnecessary war with innocent blood spilled

Compassion has been replaced with likes on a post

Have we truly forgotten what matters the most?

Leaders’ tongues spit words like stakes to the heart

Brainwashing ignorant minds to tear us apart

They talk about “Freedom” while shushing the truth

Profiting from prisons while they steal from the youth

At night sirens sing lullabies to the most innocent of minds

While those in power, turn a blind eye

Our bravest souls sent home for being different

Their honor ignored like they never existed

They say “be grateful, you’re in the land of the free”

What they really mean is “ignore what you see”

Everyday I watch as this world decays

As Humanity dies and Love fades away

No justice, no peace, just power unfurled

A front-row seat to the end of the fucking world.
