City of sin

Waking up every morning to a deceptive world,
Walking every street to the demons I know.
Welcome to the planet earth,
We all lost and not ready to find our way home.

The religious houses a place for politics,
And politics a game of bloodshed and evil,
Innocent people get killed for campaigns
And greedy men making thing we can't pay,
The promise they make become bruises and chains,
And we keep getting paid to sell our freedom.

Our pastors and prophets said they're preaching to God,
Pastors always on suits and members wearing the rags,
No blessing for you if you don't give thousands of cash,
Children getting abused cause prophecy said they're witches
And then we fast from 6to6 without hearing the truth,
We believe the money we give is the price for our sins.

A young girl coming back from school on her way home,
Drugged, beaten, raped and killed, body parts is missing,
Her mother crys to the law but she gotta answer questions,
Was her skirt too short or was she shaking her butt?
It's become the norm so the case is dismissed,
A dead girl and broken mother is all they could give.

Parents work hard all day to send their kids to school,
At a block they smoke weed, sniff cokes and pot,
Dirty cultist at a corner with guns in their pocket,
Sexual immorality lurking, abortions to be done.
Shameless older men destroying future mothers,
Lost youths and the devil laughing so loud.

Prison filled with unstained souls the gates cry out
Because the evil ones are roaming free in the streets.
Setup and blackmails haven't forgotten our generation,
You better team with the bad or you are doomed,
We call it the 21st century but it's creepy and dark,
A city of sin where every mind has grown dark.

Christians, muslims, buddhists and hinduists,
We're all praying against the devil but we don't see,
Our hearts are really the devil cause it's greedy and cold,
Our generation is lost and so is our souls,
We hurting each other, what happened to love?
Everyone is filled with hate and need for power.

The devil grows in the mind of the selfish and wicked,
Black, white, purple, colour is not resticted.
And even now I know God looks down and weeps
We have all failed our maker and we have failed our race.

Damn! This was deep and too heavy for such a young beautiful heart! Cheer up girl....there is a lot of bad going on but there is a lot of good too. I try to see the cup as half full and hope for the best. Fantastic work!!

Thank you momma😇

Good one Michelle.

It's a crazy world out there but just like an orange, we should not let what is going on the surface affects our true selves. God help us all. Remain strong and keep doing good.
