The World Is Dead

There is a war breaking out,
And no one can understand way,
Evil is over coming good,
And most of the world is to blind too see,
They have forgotten,
Hard we had to fight,
To get to where we were,
And now this world is crumbling right under our feet,
And we won't stop it,
We just act like we don't care,
And just go with it,
It's too sad to really understand any more,
I wish people would just open there eyes back up,
Mine will never close.

Poignant write on a vexing issue! When good morals are disregarded and vices praised, then there can only be a downward trend towards destruction. Love how you said your eyes will never close -we need more people like that. Nicely done Amy!
