Life

Green grass, Blue skies Sick people, Sad goodbyes Dark days, Empty nights People dying, Violent fights Frightened kids, Scared moms Divorced parents, Lost bonds Starving children, bloodthirsty thugs Innocent victims, Kids with drugs Devil worshipers, Constant crime Shot of a gun, nothing is fine Confused youth, careless adults Child abuse, countless faults Selling drugs, peer pressure Spreading AIDS, prostitute pleasure Daily abduction, victims of rape So much pain, Few ever escape Turning to suicide, Ending a life Psycho path killers, Blade of a knife Agony of loss, A broken heart Painful love, Being ripped apart Homeless people, The joy of hurting A love child, So many uncertain Pregnant teens, Unstoppable STD's Ashamed heritage, So many wannabes Sibling hatred, Dangerous obsessions Opinionated critics, Unwanted suggestions Killing family, Betraying friends As today begins, Yesterday ends Hopeless tomorrow, Doubtful future Destroying the mind, Sickening humor Never-ending sickness, Too much disease Does it ever stop? Someone tell me please Animal torture, A newborns cry Abandoned infants, Do we even try? Sleeping around, Simply for lust Deceitful lovers, Losing all trust Breaking the law, Getting away Courtroom injustice, It's the victims who pay Who is wrong? Who is right? Criminals admired? Have we lost sight Broken families, Few who pray The doubtful outlook, Getting by each day Forgotten morals, Money hungry fools Disgraceful greed, Those who use So many questions Yet so few answers The wanting to know Happens much faster When did it happen? How did it start? Who is to blame.. For letting our world fall apart?
