Nation's messiah
asphyxiating the population on
callous actions of self righteousness. Slowly
sipping from the glass of knowledge, failing to
absorb the wisdom to illuminate society's potential.
Erratic thinking leads to umbraging words spoken that
transmogrify into laws. Repeated stonings shatter
humanity's hope, leaving behind a bruised shell.
Media's contaminating hands have left a
nation floating in an unfathomable
sea of abandonment.

I think everyone has this nagging feeling, along with countless others. Death is a fact for everyone and even for this planet. Albert Camus used this as a theme and you have put it to poetry in excellent poetry. That being a given, we all must get up in the morning and eat our breakfast.
