Scars


Society screams a moaning cry

Emotional individuals die

Shootings, murders, texting, driving, death

sooner, later, nothing will be left

innocent children breathe their final breath

lost within the wave of all the lost

thousands of homeless kids die in the frost

yet no one ever looks at the cost

families torn apart by poverty

endlessly writing slam poetry

saying the worlds problems eloquently

letting go of this sets the mind free

everyone ignoring the famous' sin

dying children tear at the world's skin

leaving enourmous scars
