Judge-mental minds,
putting on labels
Drawing lines,
cutting people out
The world is a tangled web

My conceited peers,
Thinking their much greater
Causing tears,
Without even knowing
The world is a tangled web

A backstabbing friend,
Whom you thaught was true
Then it was the end,
Because of their actions
The world is a tangled web

People doing crime,
Thinking life would suddenly get better
A waste of time,
which will bring guilt later
The world is a tangled web

Yes people can change their ways,
Start with yourself,build up from there
Make it better for our kids days,
So it's not as bad as this
Will the world ever untangle its web?

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem to reach out to people. If we would all work on ourselves then we could really change the world. We are the next generation. We are the hope.
