Why is the world the way it is?

Why such dismay.

Happens every day.

What’s the matter with the human race?

Why can’t we look each other in the face?

Caring is a thing of the past.

The world is going too fast.

A lot of miserable people in the world.

Violence is waiting to unfurl.

Peace cannot be found.

Morals and values are bound.

Happy children no longer seen.

Just smart mouthed and mean.

Smiles have turned to frowns.

Arguing is the only sounds.

A wish for sentiment,

and being content.

No hope out there do I see.

What more must we do or be,

to help others get along and agree?

Cheers to those that participate in the truth,

and scorn to those that act uncouth.
