What Happening To This World

What's happening to this world
Kwenzakalani ku lomhlaba
This world of ours
Children go missing everyday
Children are being raped
Yes our future is being abused
Teenagers hang in the streets
Drugs,cigars and alcohol are the main reasons
Why there are there?
Children don't know the difference between a child and a parent
Insulting words are being spread from a child to a parent
Brother abuses other brothers sisters
Respect is one word they don't understand right.What's happening?
Today one week old baby is killed by abortion
Tomorrow two children will be raped and dumped
Next week it will be even worse
And next year it will be no more
Our future is falling apart little by little and we can't do anything to protect it
Go diragalang?
What's happening to this world of our great great grandfathers who kept it alive until we the new generation arrived and what are we doing to it, destroying it?
We ourselves, we are becoming our own enemies, Hate is one word we seem to understand and use the most.
Peace is our worst enemy,what's happening to this world??
