Crisis

What is it?

Something that creeps up behind your back

and starts following you

Something that follows everyone else

at some point of their lifetime

or every time they make a move

Crisis

Appearing to affect every living thing

and non living thing

It can appear in different forms

Financial

Existential

Natural

Technological

Deception

But there is one created by old men

who hate other old men

Politicians,

they conjure up intentional crises

to directly talk to you

about their evil plans and actions

through their plans and actions

Crisis

Can it be any worse?

Can they be worse?

Or is there more?

Are they mental health crises

that lead to suicide

Or does it produce murderers?

or is it worse?

Masculinity in crisis

The worst of them all,

ignored, rejected and outcast and,

not treated for,

and looked down by the brainwashed world

What will happen to society if this continues

heartbreak
