2026 Paradise Lost

turns out the 21st century

was full of psychopaths

and sociopaths

running society

but no one seemed to care

absolute scoundrels

pulled government levers

and polluted the air

the environment a victim

of bloodlust and greed

struggling to breathe

in the toxic system

where has paradise gone?

so long ago

when the earth was young

during creation’s dawn?
