The truth of the matter

Imagine being...

By Bongumusa MabizelaPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Imagine living in a world where chronic climate conditions are afforded more attention to than racially repulsive restrictions,

Where slave mentalities laid foundation to centuries ago, are only now beginning to grow, and somehow the powers that be have let it be so,

Where the criminal cruelties of the cunning Caucasian cults are obliviously overlooked, and planted-into poverty people of the African root are miraculously misunderstood,

Where women consistently contend for their rights to be equal to the same blokes' they bred, when in reality these Queens' can decimate any Kingdom herein on Earth,

Where sex-appeal seemingly sells, and character constantly crowds up on the shelves,

Where honesty will only get you so far, but deceitfulness will assure you a spot at the top,

Where minorities methodically manage the many, and majorities fearfully follow the few,

Where credit is due, but due to the few, that mind view will never be known,

Where killers get applause for mayhem, yet dogs get damned to their day,

Where "two wrongs don't make a right", but somehow the death sentence is still alive?

Where man has fallen, risen and fallen once more.

My oh my, imagine being in Hell.
