Untitled 19

A bus represented our inadequacies
our nation's shortcomings
people we look up to
failed us miserably
The victims themselves
were of kin to the elites
and the powerful
and the beautiful
The defenders of peace
had to take cover
had to pray for a miss
from a deranged shooter
they had to cower
and stick together
But I cannot blame them
for their enemy is their own
representing their hatred towards the system
and all the crimes that was sown
The media is supposed to show the truth
was actually the one who aggravated
him who was striped of honor and youth
him who violated and, in turn, was violated
At the end of the day
I simply saw my taxes wasted
made my beloved country
a laughing stock of the whole world
our technologies outdated
failing to get emancipated
It is a shame to us all
who were fighting tooth and nail
everyday to keep this nation going
who kept on standing tall
who were struggling not to fall
common people who bear everything
And yet our best efforts
came to nothing
and one of us made the last resort
and went hostage taking
What good is our tools
that Uncle Sam provided
if our minds are too immature
too late a year and a hundred
I realize we're just a bunch of fools
who never truly understood our fate
until we make up our own minds
until we meditate, calculate, contemplate
and we move forward united
and we get there liberated
