The World Around Me
Bang! Bang!
Another life lost
Another soul gone
Violence becomes an insatiable monster
Slam! Bam!
Doors closing on the innocent
The weak, the young,
Have we lost our heart?
Our emapthy?
The best thing about us is supposed to be our humanity
Wah! Ahh!
The screams and cries of children
When their lives are torn apart
All because of some papers
A status shouldn't decide the fate of a family
Tap Tap
Th sounds I make when I depict the world around me
The devestation, the pain, and the angst
I wonder will it ever go away
Will it always plauge us?
Then I hear it
Ha Ha Ha
The sounds of children laughing
Oblivious to the cruel reality that surrounds them
Maybe that is a sign
Of what could be and what should be
Perhaps the disease that infects us does have a cure
Hope
