life is cruel

This, is what I Believe In

 

I BELIEVE that we can’t change society for the better.

We live in a cruel world; and

I would be lying to you if I said that

there is promise for a better future.

That 10 years from now

I can see myself graduating from college

that there is actually hope for our generation.

One thing we should get straight is

that this world we live in is hell.

People are cruel and corrupt and

they don’t care about you.

All people care about today is sex, money, and power.

I shudder at the idea that

people actually care about love and family and

that there are those who are still respectful and kind.

I BELIEVE

that life is cruel

that nobody cares about me

that all my life’s work is going to be tossed down the drain

that people crave causing others pain and

death enjoys killing those you love

I refuse to accept that

life is a blessing,

every cloud has a silver lining, or

this world can change for the better because

this is the truth.

THIS is what I BELIEVE in.
