2018…

 

Why are some folks left without mothers or fathers?

Why are others in the streets having to face the icy cold and brutal heat?

Can’t we see that there are people without enough to eat?

Can’t we see that there are some people with no cash?

They are excluded from society like a pile of trash.

There are those that flee their nations for a better life.

Instead, they get hit with a bullet or a stab from someone’s knife.

There are those who have to live in war zones

With the fear of getting struck by bombs from drones.

Kids in school are being bullied every day

They try to escape the situation but can’t find a way

Meanwhile there are people who are dealing with drug addiction

Some use it to get through depression

While others use it for recreation

It’s sad to see people commiting suicide like Kurt Cobain

Everyday people have to deal with pain

Whether it’s physical, emotional or spiritual

Someone taking their own life is becoming a ritual  

Why do some people love owning a gun?

Do they think that killing someone is fun?

Look at all of the people that are in jail.

Not all of them can afford to pay bail.

Everyday someone is dropping out of high school or college.

Not everyone wants to fill their heads with knowledge.

People are so obsessed with technology

That it is becoming a necessity

All we know is social media

We don’t even socialize

This world is divided

It should be united

We see all of the issues

Hopefully 2018 will bring us the solutions
