World War 3


Dear World:
 
We are trapped in you, a world of confusion
Everywhere is disturbed by the cruel, sick minds of your time 
You are destroyed
 
Weapons of mass destruction are put into our hands
Youth are in tanks, veterans are put in to play once again
 
How can we hide in a world full of evil eyes
Looking into the depths of our souls, disrupting our peace of mind
Instilling long lasting fear
 
Civilians are being held at gunpoint, immediately falling victim
You can’t be trusted
 
Fear runs through our veins, cold
Why must we live through this ongoing pain?
 
At one point, you were full of peace and beauty from the beginning of time 
You now have distressingly transformed into Satan’s den
Harboring the devils we call our neighbors
 
Red streets scream with agony
Tragedies taunt us and become nightmares that lurk in the back of our minds
 
We are entrapped in you 
Your evil and horrible worldly state consumes and mentally disfigures us
 
I never thought I would live to see the day
But I expect it to begin soon enough...
Welcome to World War 3
Ready or not.
 
 
Painfully yours, 
 
A terrified and confused teenager
