World of Tears

World of tears - 
We live in a sad sad world. 
Full of sad little boys 
And sad little girls 
And despite the shared sadness of our loved ones and our peers 
No one makes a frown 
no one shows their tears 
Because In a sad sad world where sadness is feared  
ignoring the sadness makes it disappear

Very wise Chasey and you put your keen observance to a clever form and smartass cadence and ending which I love!

Yes, just be happy and ignore the sadness around you. Think about the wonderful things in life and you'll smile a lot...

good one to make the reader ponder thoughts on...it is a sad world we live in and i think fear also makes people show less emotion....good write!
