Falling To Pieces

Viewing out the big bay window, Tears stream down my face. Seeing all the children hungry, Wanting for things that they need. In a country where there should be hope, People starve, cry, and plead For the freedom that was once so willing to be given. Tell me what has happened to the so called "United States", Is this what you consider "United"? We live in a world where hate is what We teach our children, and they grow up knowing nothing else. Kids fear going to school because of what others Have said to them or what they have done. People speak of the innocence of a child, But are they truly that innocent anymore? I walk down the road and hear people yelling, screaming, and beating others. Where some believe we are the country of "Peace", I think we are truly the country "Falling to Pieces."
