Words I Should Have Said

The world is filled violence and there’s nothing we can do Honestly I believe that the first line wasn’t true We want a better world but we make it so disastrous The fact that it’s easier to do nothing is just way too monstrous What is wrong with us, are we really such evil beasts Treating each other as if we’re each other’s feasts We want less pain, less garbage and way less crimes But we had so many chances to end these crazy times We choose to do nothing but yet we choose to teach But honestly I think it’s time to practice what we preach Unless we want to kill ourselves and end the human race These thoughts really affect my heart; just see the fear upon my face We want to live forever but we’re causing global warming We don’t want to die but it’s by the knives and the guns we’re living They say the youths are the future but I see none I looked for a place that actually had peace but I couldn’t find one Drugs and alcohol spread faster than the truth In fact we cover it up because it wasn’t cute I know the truth is really ugly but it’s way much better than the world Children of the world, it’s time to start being a boy or girl Instead of being monsters doing all this evil Like if we were puppets of the devil It’s time to cut the strings and start doing what’s right And maybe our future may actually be bright Because unless the world does something the world will be a mess You can’t expect for something to be clean if we’re just dosed into nothingness Senselessness, worthlessness; the world is messing up my head I would rather be dead than take back all these words I should’ve said
