Structural Problems

Tue, 01/17/2017 - 14:56 -- Pashael

Oh no!

We are starting to lose support

The building is falling

We never placed any safety plans

Who would’ve thought in the end we ought to care

We are all falling out

The falling supports are damaging the people in the street

Who would’ve thought our plans would fail them too

By standing back and never fixing our problems

Never doing what we ought to do

We’ve taken the lives of many including ourselves

Surviving the tragedy isn’t the story we should be living for

We should live for a better tomorrow

Yes we loss many fights

But we didn’t lose the sunrise of tomorrow or the night fall

It’s time to plan and rebuild

It’s time we lose the hive mind and be mindful of those around us

But what happens when we hit the eye of the storm

Will our moments of peace be our ending

Who would’ve though we ought to have a better structure

We never thought it would fall

Remember 10 years ago, we only saw cracks in the concrete
