World Full of Hate


Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all

Unless you're standing on the wrong side of the wall.

One nation, under God - who loves all His creations

Depending on their sexual orienations.

 

Sadly it seems all our practical dreams

Are being replaced by Internet memes.

We live in our phones, numb to the violence

Headphones on to drown out the sirens.

 

The hatred is witnessed by our adolescents

Who are too numb to care thanks to antidepressants.

It seems like we're all on our worst behavior

Are we killing for fun, or for the love of our savior? 

 

I wish I could erase all the hate that I've seen

But I'll just keep getting lost inside of a screen.

Quite honestly I'm not sure what's so great

About a world that's so big but so full of hate.
