Nightmare
I had a dream one night,
about how the world had no light.
There were ten years olds growing up so fast,
buying guns and killing kids in class.
Loss of childhood innocence.
High teenage pregnancy rates.
Teenagers' killing senselessly, not caring that heaven was slowly closing it's
gates.
Loss of morality.
Mothers' killing the young lives they create,
General safety continues to eliminate.
Loss of security.
The only innocence left was from children just learning to walk,
Four dozen murders and no one wanted to talk.
Tossing and turning, i began to fear this world.
Scared that i wouldn't wake up from this nightmare.
Waking up in a cold sweat,
I realized that this was a dream that i would never forget.
I turned on the news and saw a similar reality,
Which i will never forget.
