The Harsh Truth, by Nancy


The year was 2025, everything was right,
My friends, family, job, life, it was all so bright,
We had equality, no poverty, the country it was strong,
But that was when absolutely everything started to go wrong,
The dark clouds stole the sunshine the sky,
They had it all wrong in the tales of sci-fi,
 The air was polluted; no one would go out,
Most of the water was taken to other planets, half the world left in drought,
Half the people were gone anyway, living over on Mars,
The oil was long gone; we couldn’t even use our cars,
Riots would take place every other second of the day,
For just tiny bit of oxygen, so much we had to pay,
Coughing was all I heard, disease being spread,
Like butter on a knife, scraping across the bread,
I still wonder now why this all happened,

You know when the whole world was blackened
