Have you ever thought about what goes on in today's society?

Do you know what goes on half way across the world?

Do you even know what goes on in our own country?

Children are beat, raped, and starved everyday

People are fighting with each other to get the 'best' there is

Citizens throw garbage to the side of the road when there's a trash can just up the street

Wars are going on and people would come to us for protection

They'd come to America, thinking it's the promise land

But they live one day with our people and decide they'd rather go some place else

Americans are stupid, selfish, and they don't respect others for who they are

In school, if your different, you get pointed out and made fun of

For what?

Personal gain?

I know that you've been on one of those sides at least once in your life

Whether on purpose or not, you've done it

And what came out of it?

Nothing but guilt

Guilt that you wished to have stood up for yourself

or guilt for pushing them down in the first place

You know,

I used to watch those TV shows and movies for people today

The ones that teach a lesson

And the older ones my parents would watch cause there was nothing else on to be seen

Those are today's R rated things

The things that today's children want to watch

How many people do you know have seen or heard of that show called 'The Walking Dead'?

Quite a few, right?

Well, sometimes I wish that that would happen

Not because I like to see gore or people killing each other or anything like that

But because then people would come together and need each other to survive

Sure there are still those who protect and those that stay inside where it's safe

But they still need each other to depend on

The people there know they have others like them that they can talk to and be friends with

If everything went back to normal, they wouldn't take things for granite

That's something I wish to happen because of today's idiots

I shouldn't have to do that

To wish for something horrible to happen for things to be better

Why can't people come together on their own?

Because they care about themselves

Why do people want more of something they can't have?

Because they care about themselves

Why are people selfish?

They only care about themselves

We need to come together to fight our problems

We need to gain trust from others for this fight

We need to make bonds with others for peace

But I guess it's just another wish of mine

I know that it will never happen

Mainly because I know that there is only dirt and mud wherever I go

It doesn't matter which side of the hill your on

Nothing is there

Just self promises and lies of others

We don't know who to trust

Do we even know what trust is?

I think I know

I think we all think we know

But tell a secret to someone or write it in your diary

It can and will, sooner or later, be told

That's what we're afraid of

To be exposed

So others can push us down for being different

For being who we are

Some peoples choice is to avoid this by keeping it to them self

But then it builds up inside of them

And they can't keep it hidden forever

But they don't want to tell

So as their last option

They dig a hole

Crawl inside

And put the barrel to their head

Their family and friends morn for the decision the made

But they didn't think about their family

Only themselves and the words of others

This is why we can't have anything nice

This is why we don't trust

This is why nothing can be peaceful in our lives

We think of ourselves and the dark words of others

We only see the shadows

Never the sun

Why do we turn our backs to the good stuff in life?

Why can't we turn around so we don't listen to the whispers that tell us about evil?

Why can't we be nice to one another?

Why do we push down the weak instead of help build them up?

Why does evil rule over good?

Why don't we come together and stand as one to make our world a better place?
