Silent Tears

Weary from the constraints of society,
Conformity, and its misaligned propriety,
Where truth is lost in the desperate chaos:
Countries across the Earth build up and up,
Snake-tongued leaders act as seeders,
Sowing lies in the fertile minds of the youngest
Among us, so none can anticipate the fall:
The tumbling, crashing, supernatural SMACK
That succeeds the inevitable crumbling
Of the world’s foundations succumb 
To too many cracks, from the weight
Of all the societal deceptions.
