Bad World


Imagine I said,

'The world is a bad place'

Now think of all the things

That make it bad

List them in your head

 

Now imagine

That humans did not exist

And try

To list the things

That make the world a bad place

 

…

Depressing, huh?

So I guess

We should probably stop saying the 'world' is bad

When we're the ones who marred whatever good it could've had
