A Little More Love

I'm not even sure how I should start this This is a lot different than writing about my own hardships I'm not writing about relationship breakups or being in love with a girl I'm writing about the pain and tragedies we're seeing in the world I know some will laugh and tell me I'm nothing to do with politics If you get offended, that's your issue, I've never been an apologist You can disregard it, but I choose to acknowledge it No parent should have to see their child die first Why do so many people Need to die first? Why do so many attacks need to happen for security to be on high alert? For a month or so, then they'll be normal again until the next attack Security should be on high alert all the time, how hard is this to grasp? This will mean nothing, the government won't listen to my words We want world peace, but honestly pigs will fly first I want to be positive, but it's difficult to see love ahead When everyday I turn on the news and see blood shed Terror attacks, bombs popping more than Champagne bottles Politicians lie to us, more campaigns bottled I'n writing this and trying to be Respectable But I'm sick of people trying to make these tragic events Measurable None are worse than another, they're all Equally tragic People disappearing so often but sadly it's not a trick to do with magic From Paris, To Germany, Turkey, Orlando, Manchester, Palestine to Syria They're all tragic events, but the news will make you think some countries and events are superior To the media it's just a job, so they don't have any sympathy for an event or the family They'll ask you questions 5 minutes after the event, and question your sanity This was a hard write Rest in peace to everyone who lost their lives I hope those who need it, can use my words as hugs This world needs less hate and a little more love I apologize for any country or event that I missed But I have a lot more to say, I'll have to write a part 2 to this
