There Are People

There are people,
that lack trustworthiness.
They cheat,
They lie,
They betray one another.
They have lost compassion,
for other’s feelings.
They have become selfish,
only caring about themselves,
only trying to get themselves ahead.

 

There are people,
that judge each other,
For not fitting,
society’s perception of perfection.
But in reality...
no one can be perfect.
We are a sea of imperfect people,
waiting to point out others
imperfections.

 

There are people,
young people,
that hurry to grow up,
they rush their childhood,
they do adult things.
they act on the now,
they forget about consequences.
They do it for the thrill,
The thrill of being reckless,
the thrill of defying authority.
Only doing.. Never thinking.

 

There are people,
that kill each other.
Somehow,
human life has lost it’s value.
People can kill,
without even blinking.
They can harm,
Without guilt.
They can hurt others,
without sympathy.
Murders, Rapes, Shootings.

Violence. Everyday.
