This World Has Gone To Hell

There's a big priority
We've lost in our society
It seemed to disappear somehow
Causing lots of pain and sorrow
Schools on lock down  shooting guns
Instead of friends all having fun
Students shake in so much fear
A bad situation to bear
Children tortured by parents
Instead of love  it leaves a dent
Of misery lies and heartache
Leaving little ones to break
Neighbors used to be caring
Open doors and lots of sharing
Now its us turning away
Friendships in bitter dismay
What made us all lose decency
For each other easily
Without a care it's gone forever
I really thought that there would never
Be a time we all would lose
The option to finally choose
Hatred over love and care
It's happening everywhere
And needs to stop or there will be
A blast of  pure catastrophe
We'll never get past again
Making this world lose in sin
