The World Today

Beating hearts

     And

Pounding feet

                                Searching eyes

                                       And

                                Screaming teeth

Lying lips

  And

Drowning dreams

                                Broken homes

                                      And

                                Shattered Scenes

Heaving Lungs

   And

Cringing Souls

                                Unhindging Fists

                                       And

                                Words never told

Unspoken Thoughts

        And

Pain Foretold

                            Streaming Tears

                                    And

                                Flowing Blood

Darkened Skin

   And

Wounded Love

                                Pressing Bruises

                                     And

                                Cutting Deep

Attempting Escape

     And

Attempting to become Unseen

                                 This is the World

                                        Cold

                                        Cruel

And to so many

            A

       Defeat

                                But nothing is happening

                                                Or

                                So people make it seem

As they forget

     About

The lives ending

                                Violence, Torture

                                       And

                                All sorts of Pain

Crying children

     And

Making death a game

                                Shooting guns

                                     And

                                Shooting up

Popping pills

      And

Doing drugs

                                Not remembering

                                    The

                                Night before

Going to parties

      And

Drinking up

                                Empty homes

                                    And

                                Empty minds

Motherless

     And

Fatherless

                                Family holding

                                      No

                                Meaning

Recollection of memories

        Making

Childhood become haunting

                                Misunderstood

                                     And

                                Unwanted

People find their

      Feelings

As nothing much

                                Life has became

                                     Rather

                                Unvalued

As the highest goals held

           Are

Hopes of seeing tomorrow

                                Slowly the World

                                       Starts

                                To come to an end

And is surrounded

         By

Darkness.
