Conspiracy of Collusions

After actively participating,
In the demise of their own flesh and blood.
With backstabbings, character assassinations...
Rumors and downright lies,
Organizers assigned to promote unity...
And family togetherness,
In communities nationally...
Wonder why there is a dwindling number,
Of those showing interest in advertised festivities.

And they propose conducting surveys,
Once meetings have been established...
To seek funding for research,
And other related matters.
To determine from those affected...
The causes for this 'phenomenon'.

It seems as though they are sure,
It is because of a lack of jobs!
Unavailable affordable housing.
And unqualified teachers in schools...
Where undisciplined children represent,
An upbringing from illiterate homes...
That are socially dysfunctional.
And it has been declared,
These children can not maintain successful futures,
If they can not receive a dynamic education,
Supported by their unfaithful and disrespecting guardians!

WHY have these 'negativities' perpetuated?
When intentions have been prayed over...
In weekly services that are packed in churches on Sunday,
By devoted worshippers seen glorifying their beliefs.

Mysteries like these have been determined to be priorities,
To uncover and solve what has been suggested to be a crisis!
Since many suspect a conspiracy of collusions.
A plot to undermine those of goodwill!

Perhaps they will conclude their findings soon...
Before a mirror exposes a self examination.
And the stares reflected will accept the minds,
That have either snapped, cracked, popped and/or fizzled...
In 'influential' significance.
As perceived by nonbelievers...
Who revere and revel 'themselves'
In pretensed perceptions.
