The World As We Know It

Suicide...
War, Hate, Death, Depression.

Fives words to describe the world,
Leaving out so many more.
I can write this about happiness,
How there is hope and joy,
That it is going to be all okay and good,

But when you look right to it, it isn't like that...
The world...
Let me sun it up for you:

We have the youngest of our people cutting,
Taking their owns lives and losing their innocence,
To put it sincerely.
We have children killing themselves,
Just because of a past love,
Or taunting at school...
They are torturing each other day after day...

We have stars today that shine dim
And rotate around money and power...

Where did all the compassion go?
The love, the happiness?
Do we even care that people take their lives every day,
Only to escape this living Hell?
I don't blame them...
And I am stuck here,
In the middle...
Trying to help,
Succeeding little...
