YO SPACE:

Tell me!
What good is anything when everything is for nothing
What good are elections when there’s still starvation?
What role is empowered by clinics?
When there’s still no medication
of what length is safe and shallow
When beyond that there is depth
What good is life?
When after life there is death
of what use is hell
When after we sin we pray
What good are relationships?
When at a point you will break up

What good is rest?
When after we sleep we wake up
What good is beauty?
When its plastered with makeup
What good are presidents like Adolf  Hitler?

When people lived and still live in non-democratic countries
What good are laws?
When after all they are broken
What good are words?
When tomorrow they are forgotten

What good is love?
When it is hate begotten
Of what good is keeping secrets?
When at a point they will come out so can you tell me ,
Of what good is anything?
When everything is for nothing.

I need information on these
what good is a rose when it blossoms
When its blossoms will eventually die
What good is a river?
When its flows will eventually dry

What good is sunshine?
When darkness will come
What good is sharing?
When all you get is a crumb of What use are police officials?
When they have conspired in corruption
What good are books?
When students go for each other’s looks
Of what good is denying a proposal?
When at a point you will get married

What good were government schools in (2007-09)?
When teachers were always on strike
Of what gain is made from not reading?
When you will fail
What do you get from crime?
When you end up in jail
So people, can you please tell me
What good is anything?
When everything is for nothing!!!
