What Have We Become?

by UCastaneda

March 8, 2018

They tell us when things go wrong, pray

If you want change protest

Then they kill more of us and we cry more

How much blood is enough? The world never changes

What's wrong with our society? All we can do is argue

This causes death. All you can do is sit there and cry until the world ends.

It will only take a while

I just have one question....

What have We Become?
