How did we get here?

Poetry on today's world

How did we get here?
How did we start killing our brothers and sisters?
How did fathers start raping their daughters?
How did mothers start selling their children?

When did this craze start?
When did young men become so uncontrollable?
When did young ladies become objects of sex?
When did children become so rude and mannerless?

Why are we so greedy and selfish?
Why are we so arrogant and boastful?
Why is it okay to live a fake life?
Why is it okay to kidnap for a living?

Where did we miss it as a people?
Where did we lose our sense of humanity?
Where did the change start from?
Where did the absurdity begin?

What went wrong?
What changed our good morals?
What reformed our values?
What metamorphosed the standards?
