The Promise

You take your drugs

And drink your wine

To forget your troubles

And lose your mind

It’s not your problem

That the world is burning

Because every day

It keeps on turning

You blame your enemy

And also your friend

The one who left you

At the bitter end

Whatever happened

To the promise we made

The one for our children

For a better day

Why did we break it

Or choose to forget

Why did we bring them

These days of regret
