No One Knows The Way Out (A Poem Of One Mood-Despair)

NO ONE KNOWS THE WAY OUT
(A POEM OF ONE MOOD -DESPAIR)

Nothing goes well,
The world is turning upside down-
One after one
The terrible surprises-
On the verge
Of a new kind of hell,
All is ugly and frightening
And no one knows the way out.

The world is falling down
And Darkness is everywhere
The hungry lose their strength to cry out,
And cruelty is survival’s only friend-

All is going into Chaos
And mankind is at the edge
Of its own
Ultimate Abyss.

No hope, no help
Only suffering and more suffering
Pain without end
The only prayer,
for Death-
and that too does not come
soon enough.
