This Day That Speaks of the Suffering

This day out of all days speaks words of realism and shame.
The world you've made hides the shadows that lingers to this day.
Unnoticed.
Unnecessary.
The darkness within holds the secret to your surroundings.
You've ignored the fact that the world is suffering.

The millions reached out for the touch of a hand.
Never getting a single light to guide them to friends.
We fall slowly into a hole of
our ignorance,
our arrogance,
and our defiance.
Never really realizing that our love isn't made to stand.

You say that you know.
That you feel and understand.
With no experience or evidence, how could say that you truelly aren't pretend?
Sad you describe your life,
but to the world outside of society, 
your words mean nothing to them.

A life without fears.
A home caring and protected.
A bank that filled to the brim.
A hand that pollutes the earth.
A society that helps all that live and breathes.
Your life isn't so sad that you once thought of it to be.

The hungry and the dead.
They still live in peace. 
With a heart of gold, but still so fragile to keep.
Survival is a must, so their hearts start to rot.
Slowly but surely the light will end.

What's left is the darkness that lingers in our hearts.
That's a sad story, but not the worse that was made.
The evil shows itself in the people who could help, 
but never do in this world of shame.
They hung their heads low and follow the rest who are the same.

This world will never change.
The greed will show.
The greed will stand.
That's the true sadness in our hearts.
No one cares for each other.
No one helps another.

This day out of all days told me the story
of the people who suffer to this day.
In the world we live, you're luckier than most.
You've hides these facts in the world you have made.
The world that you're the one who's suffering.
It's all a sad story with always a sad ending.

This day out of all days speaks words of realism and shame.
The world you've made hides the shadows that lingers to this day.
Unnoticed.
Unnecessary.
The darkness within holds the secret to your surroundings.
You've ignored the fact that the world is suffering.
