Voices (How the world is)
This may seem strange to some,
And others may find it wise or dumb,
But I find my opinion to be simply just,
You can overlook it if you must,
But I find that love and war are both unfair,
And can’t understand why people don’t care,
Why some think that murder is good,
To those who have done all the damage they could,
And why is it sane for wars to be fought,
But when a man kills a child it is more worse than naught,
And how is it that on the street children freeze,
But we use all our money for senators to please,
And how in countries a child dies of cold,
But here in this place a man dies of old,
Now are you seeing how this all is unjust?
Or are you still confused, I’ll go on if I must.
And why is it, for cancer, we can’t find a cure,
New medicines on the counters when the scientists aren’t sure,
Why do animals get more help than mankind,
And why do some think that it is too hard to find,
Half of us all wont lend a manicured hand,
And why do we not do all that we can,
Each day we watch the TV and pity those seen there,
But deep down inside we really don’t care,
Believe me an imbecile, more so a fool,
Don’t complain to me when you children then spoil,
And don’t say a word to me as the earth fades away,
Just keep pretending that you are safe where you stay,
And I’ll let you believe that Mother Nature can’t hurt you,
Don’t come to me when you don’t know what to do,
Don’t seek guidance from me from here on out,
Because you didn’t believe me, you were filled with doubt,
Don’t cry to me when you are stalked by Death’s shadow,
For it will be too late to save you from what you do now,
If you were to look you will not find the one who is me,
For I will be so gone you will never be able to see,
For far off and away that’s were you will find,
The one who is me who treated the world kind,
Who treated each life as special and unique,
And think that each person should have a chance to speak,
If you think that you can’t make a difference,
I will show you that you have the sense,
And no matter how smart or brave or strong,
Each person needs to feel as they belong,
And whether or not you were given that choice,
Go and help others find what is their voice.
And others may find it wise or dumb,
But I find my opinion to be simply just,
You can overlook it if you must,
But I find that love and war are both unfair,
And can’t understand why people don’t care,
Why some think that murder is good,
To those who have done all the damage they could,
And why is it sane for wars to be fought,
