Terror.

What we read in the textbook,

The notes and the theory,

The logic we build up,

Is fake and unsavory.

It's a lie I can tell you.

It's all rigged, I can swear,

The politicians cower fearfully

behind masks of despair.

The currency crumbles,

The tuition fees rise,

Hatred is rising,

The students up-rise.

I want to be angry,

I want someone to blame,

A face I can glare at,

To name and to shame.

But in the big wide world,

This makes no difference,

People are suffering, 

From different diseases.

My selfish hatred 

For what cannot be helped

Shows the kind of human race

we have developed.

So stop for a moment,

pause and reflect,

we have food in our stomachs,

and a roof over our heads.

We have warmth and our families,

We are safe for the night,

While terror roams the roads,

Out there by street light.
