Complacent

Complacent.

When terrible things in life become more common
They become less terrible
And a societies norm
There lies the danger
We become more tolerant and complacent
And we tend to just look away
So our hearts are no longer torn.
From the homeless on the cold streets
To the old Lady attacked and beat
By evil thugs
Not just content with robbing
To buy drugs.
It's true sometimes we just have to switch off
Enough is enough
There's just too much hate in the world
And not enough understanding
Caring and love.
As our world gets colder
And more people are getting older
And our government doesn't seem to care
If they live or die
For they are the same people who once
Made our country great
And make no mistake
It's not great or something we
Should be proud of any more.
Open up you're hearts
Speak up for the weak
Show some human kindness
Be humble caring and meek.
We are all really brothers and sisters
Under the same moon stars and sun
Despite our many differences
Lets try yo live as one.
Some people seek peace
Others only war
Lets make a stand together
And make the world
A better place once more.

Jan Allison Date: 5/25/2019 2:40:00 AM It's happening all too often Peter and if they do catch the vile scum the sentences they get are so short they are out in a few months to probably do it again and sadly crime has escalated since you wrote the poem especially with gangs and stabbings:-( its a sad state of affairs:-( hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Peter Dome Date: 5/25/2019 9:35:00 AM H Jan, thank you. Yes sadly, such crimes have sadly escalated as you say. There is not deterrent I agree. we should take a leaf out of Americas book, three or four life sentences. One got 28,000 years yes, that's right. The royal baby makes headline news, a massacre hardly makes the middle page if lucky. Where are the positive role models that we used to have, the morals and good conduct. Sadly as I said in the poem, people hardly notice tese days, it's expected and just a normal part o life to be expected. Thank you. Pete. X.
