why is it like this
As I sit and think of the world of today
A part of me just fades away
To give you an idea of the state the world is in.
I have no idea where to begin..
Murder by stabbing: a child with a gun
The parents say that they are just having fun.
Two-tier policing and turning a blind eye
No one cares when the innocent die
Drugs sold freely on the corner of the street.
People are starving with nothing to eat.
Sleeping in doorways in the heat and the cold.
Being homeless affects the young and the old.
Grooming gangs and knife-wielding thugs
Promising good times through drink and hard drugs
I remember the good times when the world was a safe place.
Now the world is being taken over by an uncaring human race
