The Truth In Life
Moments are used,
Lives are wasted,
And drugs are taken.
People go hungry,
Families break up,
And war breaks out.
Parents go to prison,
Teens become moms,
And women have abortions.
Teenagers runaway from home,
Children take their own lives,
And people are abused.
Issues are ignored,
The guilty are set free,
And victims are denied justice.
In a world where billions live,
Most are ignored,
Most killed by one thing or another.
How long will it take for people to realize,
This cannot continue on,
That we cannot continue on this way,
Like animals, monsters, and murderers.
