What The........?

What has gone wrong? Is there a soul left on this  planet that believes in what our elders 
drilled into our heads? Such as: Compasion, honor, loyalty, family, dedication, faithfulness. 
Anyone left with good, strong morals, values, self respect, and common sense? Whos word 
is solid and trustworthy? I feel surrounded, suffocated and hunted. Out numbered and closed 
in on. Why am I looked upon as crazy, felt as though it were wrong to feel thins way? All 
your grown up life taught on thing just for it to turn around and go in the opposite direction. 
How am I suppose to feel? Exactly as I do. I'm not the one sucked off balance and shoved  
outside the path. Its not worth it to me to hang my head in shame. I'm not to blame. Iv 
stayed the same. Its the world that's changed

We are the world ... growing away from root to center ... we find ourselves exfoliated and shining in expressions of beauty ... and you have captured that moment when we call for what is always true. One love
