The world around me
Scarlet stained faces
bullets ripping through blue sky
kidnapping and murders
volcanoes exploding
evacuating communities
men, women and children
going hungry in the streets
homeless veterans
once honored by serving their country,
but also my country
living in poverty
neglected by society
a society so worried about everything else,
but misses the bigger picture
everyone's so worried about who to vote for November
I'm just worried about surviving to see tomorrow
