The world


I saw the world through those eyes 

Where darkness is more a part of peace 

Where love is all a game of lies 

Where friendship is just a matter of time 

Where money is a weapon in life 

Where past is a regret and present is pain 

Where respect is a topic of debate 

Where wars and conflicts are a lifestyle 

Where letting down and disputes are habits 

Where silence is timid but arguments are braver

Where hatred is routine and appreciation is flattering 

red flags fluttering above every head

Ever wondered what colour you are?
