Everything


Everything.

That's what I've seen.

I've seen pain,

Happiness,

Anger,

Excitement.

I've seen hunger,

Famine,

Depression,

And war.

Everywhere I've gone I've seen it all.

 

You could ask me how I've seen it and I could answer that it's on the news,

But that's not how I've seen it.

I lived it.

If there's one thing I could change then it would be that.

 

It would be that no one would have to feel pain anymore,

No one would have to feel anger or hunger.

The world would be a better place.

No more pain.

No more anger.

No more hunger or famine.

No more depression and war.

Just... No more.

 

There would be no pain in children's eyes.

Every person would have a meal

Every last soul wouldn't feel depression.

There would be no one would dying from other people's hands.

 

Pain and depression.

That's what I've felt.

I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

That's what I've seen.

Everything.
