John William Ravencroft Poet ABC

An Ugly World

What an ugly place, what an ugly face,
the human race is such a disgrace
The people here are different, always looking for someone to blame
I was born from darkness and brought in this world of suffering and pain
and only knowing nothing but shame

A world filled with hate and sadness
turning a poor boy's beautiful dreams into madness
A world filed with liars and killings, lust and greed
A world with people always needing to feed

A space in they're hearts that can't be satisfied or filled
Always wanting more, never wanting less
even things like drugs, sex, lies and thrills or watching someones blood spilled
Is not an enough to satisfied the human heart or the hearts of the wicked.
