Aggressive Anger Affects Everyone

Our society is breaking
Because some folks seem like taking
All their anger and aggression
Out on others as they lessen
The love and kindness we knew
I need help finding a clue
As to why some folks seem
To be cruelish, rude and mean
One emotion in their heart
Has been darkness from the start
Blocking light to shine and be
Bright enough for us to see
Is there any chance we could
Find our way back, nothing should
Dampen the love this world needs
Stop all the bully and greed
Bringing back old fashioned days
And all the neighborly ways
We used to treat others kindly
Now we're walking around blindly
Ignoring the big storm brewing
Come on people--lets stop doing
Things to keep our great world spinning
And work together for a winning
Place to live in greater peace
All this nonsense needs to cease
