I lay there, apathetic to the world around me
Oblivious to thought and worry
An innocent child, inadvertently wishing
To grow in a world where queues were nothing but a fable
Where smiles were not scrutinized for serendipitous behavior
Where childbearing was not looked upon as a burden,
But rather as a new opportunity
Where prostitution was confined
Yet where prostitutes had an identity
Where those in need of assistance were helped
Where death was understood, but was uncommon
Where the police did not contemplate murder,
Rather alleviated the possibility of sin
Where drugs were considered a threat to society
Where the majority had the power, not guns
Where explosives were used for demolition of buildings
Not people
Where money was spent to make money
Not to take lives
Were opportunities were given by the government
And seizedby the people
Rather than taken from the people and
Abducted by the government
Where slaves weren’t sold
But warmth given
And nothing was asked in return
Five years old……
No future…….
Too fucking bad……
