Cliche

Location

There is so much going on in the world today.

From malice to murder,

So many things I could say.

Why must we seek to hurt and harm one another?

Whether it's a loved one or a stranger,

This can't possibly go on any further!

Decades have past, we're in a whole nother century!

Yet prejudice and racism is still at large ...

People, people! How can you let this be?

Women and young children getting raped and abused.

Not to mention the countless drugs our teens are being encouraged to used.

Poor baby. Watching Mommy get beat. Or waiting on Her return.

Later to believe that every bad thing, they've rightfully earned.

There is so much going on in the world today.

Though I've only cried out a few,

If I could change one thing, here's what I'd do:

I'd remove every ounce of hatred and evil from each wrong-doer's heart.

And help pick back up the victims, and give them a fresh start!

I'd go into the minds of many, you know, toss a few things around ...

And free the thoughts of non-believers, so they no longer feel unheard and bound.

I'd probably just brainwash the rest, removing every single bad taste.

To sum it all up, and no matter how cliche,

I'd change all that I could, anything to make the world a better place!
