Around the World


You see the world, yet you ignore

This is something to stand up for

Children still don't know how to read

Some people still need to be freed

The lack of action, I deplore

 

All you wish for is more and more

But you don't live a life that's poor

There are people that you could feed

You see the world

 

There is nothing that you care for

While the world is fighting war

Others are in desperate need

Together the world will succeed

We can't live this way anymore

You see the world

I have been writing passionately since I was about ten years old. When I was younger, I used to spend my days after school writing cheesy action/romance novels. Nowadays, I spend my time writing poetry, horror screenplays, and dystopian novels. I love using imagery, symbols, and hidden meanings! Random facts: I enjoy eating ice cream, cuddling, and watching city lights at night.
