Epiphany

An epiphany to humanity.

About the reality that we see,

A play unknowingly written by society.

What enters the scene, and what ends their suffering.

Reality, fabricated by humanity.

Velvet curtains, hiding actuality

Turning flesh to sheen, turning faux to genuine.

Nullified connections, misunderstood affections.

Withered leaves and black winds.

Plastic words, inhumane grins.

This is reality, a fraction of humanity.

Covered up with dirty money.

Hoping it would solve every abnormality.

Yet, change is imminent in society,

Persevere to bring back clarity.

Give back to humanity, what we have lacked in centuries.

Amity, the halcyon camaraderie.

coexistence without abused superiority.

living without visions of fallen countries.

Bonds, to promote diversity.

In this progressing world of humanity.

Connections that can last an eternity.

Patience, to nullify partiality

To accept each other universally

And open our minds to tolerate reality.

Initiative, to regain the ethereal ecstasy

Of the lush floral greenery

And bring life to the withered society

Determination, to act in universal harmony

To regain positivity and clarity

In this world of blind naivety

Raise a voice that can be heard for centuries

Determined to bring back unity in its glory

To bring back harmony and tranquility

This is an epiphany, an epiphany to humanity.
