Diatribe ' MY WORLD :MY COMMUNITY'

My world is growing weary,
my heart is skipping beats,
your sight is blurry,
the feelings I can't beat.

My head can't contain my thinking,
my heart is lamenting.
I don't know what's wrong!
We're so close yet the distance is long

The birds in the community are flying away,
the animals are going astray.
Is it that you don't want to stay
or there's a price I need to pay?

After the fleeing of the bird,
what's left to nurture on bed?
After the leaving of the animals,
is there something tagged normal?

This poetic work of great imagery laments over hardship in the world, things seem to be put in the best method but they end up turning out the other way around. The poet wonders if there is a debt to pay in his community.
