World Of Despair

I can't take it Everywhere I look there is despair The news informs me of the horror in which I live Another man dead from the war Thirty kids dead in a school shooting I can't handle this world of despair I'm sure heaven would be much nicer A land of love, A place of hope, A land with no harm, A place of peace I must escape this world of despair I look down and watch As the cool crimson flows from my veins Onto my pale white skin Yet no relief from this world of despair Swallow the pills One Two Three Four Like an alcoholic gulps down ale Look to the sky and close my eyes Fall into the land of escape Never to return again to this world of despair.
