A Time of Torture

A Time of Torture

A Poem by Brett Pritchard
"

No right, no wrong, only frustration and despair The world of today, don't expect it to be fair

"
A tortured time frame, an era of fear
The world of today, makes one shed a tear
An odyssey of lies matched only by indecision
The world of today, one truly without vision
A catalyst for evil with the prevention of good
The world of today, if it doesn't scare you it should
No right, no wrong, only frustration and despair
The world of today, don't expect it to be fair
Less answers, more questions, the truth in short supply
The world of today, it's complicated that's no lie
Dwindling resources with an ever present danger
The world of today, makes an enemy of the stranger
An uncertain present and a less then hopeful tomorrow
The world of today, a one way ticket to sorrow
Sinking into the sand at the mercy of the coming tide
The world of tomorrow, never came because they lied
