Is This The End?

Can one believe that this is true?

Our dream is lost. 

What are we to do with the aftermath 

Left in the dust with nothing left? 

You with your full belly and overflowing pockets– 

What are we to do with this nothingness, 

Left with the clothes on our back 

And a twinkle of hope in our hearts 

That someday, 

Something will change. 

Can we really bring ourselves to be happy 

With the mess you’ve made? 

Look at yourself, 

And what you’ve done. 

You’ve made a monster 

Out of something 

That had the opportunity 

To be so beautiful.
