hot day

the sun is shining down hard. the day is hot and oppressive, the haze blocking the beautiful sky. can't even see the light at the end of the tunnel, literally speaking. wary even to take a deep breath, much less go out there and fill my lungs with remnants of burning materials. fitting perhaps for how i was feeling. life is way too complicated. where did the innocence go? where is the sincerity, the genuineness, the love? when did we get to be this way? people always looking for ways to gain an upperhand, not by legal means, not by proper avenues, but by cheating, twarting, scheming. always having to be on guard, always wondering, always double-checking. it's very tiring. things very simple, things very direct, can be twisted, turned, changed. every word spoken bearing an ulterior motive.

where is my rainbow? where is the beauty in mankind? where is my inspiration?
