Crisis



Crisis
What is it?
Something that creeps up behind your back
and starts following you
Something that follows everyone else
at some point of their lifetime,
or every time they make a move

Crisis
Appearing to affect every living thing
and non living thing
It can appear in different forms
Financial
Existential
Natural
Technological
Deception
But there is one created by old men
who hate other old men
Politicians,
They conjure up intentional crises
to directly talk to you
about their evil plans and actions
through their plans and actions

Crisis
Can it be any worse?
Can they be worse?
Or is there more?
Are they mental health crises
that lead to suicide
or does it produce murderers?
Or is it worse?

Masculinity in crisis
The worst of them all,
ignored, rejected and outcast
Not treated for,
and looked down by the brainwashed world
What will happen to society if this continues
