Poet's note: The poem talks about the society we live in. Despite love shown to another, we in one way or the other try to snatch things that don't belong to us. We loath ourselves and store them up for a generation we won't even be alive to see. Many toil day and night in offices but yet their rewards are been taken away from them.
I wrote the poem for every human being out there. we need to stop the injustice we do to others.
The poem carries the feeling of; anger, bitterness, hatred, betrayal
