My City, Gen-Next, Slammed

All in vain

Took a step outside, But then I closed my eyes. I didn’t have the strength to see; The pain right in front of me.

Took a step outside,


But then I closed my eyes.


I didn’t have the strength to see;


The pain right in front of me.

Wade ton in vain as England force Ashes draw


So I went inside


And pretended that everything was fine;


Like the flowers weren’t fading,


And the Earth wasn’t degrading.


And so I looked away,


From the black smoke coming in my way;


The world inside was calm and bright;


Global warming didn’t bring in a fright.


Full of warmth I fell asleep:


Lived in a dream that etched so deep.


After years I was finally awake,


From my world but it was a mistake.


I couldn’t find the wind; the sun; or the rain;


I had indeed lived a life but all in vain.
