The news of today
has taken its toll
of so many men
who had thought themselves whole
Their spirits have waned
and that is no way to live
yet we continue to be
so self destructive
Torn down
ripped apart
inundated with filth
this world does impart
Living as shadows
of who they once were
while the death tolls rise
and politicians keep score
Not only the wars
but famine as well
as many a people
are already in Hell
The murders and rapes
adding up every day
no longer safe for children
to just go out and play
Where the hell are we headed
is there no way to fall back
to those days filled with love
it seems its that which we lack
It's time to take a step back
away from this madness
and hopefully put to an end
these days filled with sadness
Return to those days
when people respected each other
and once again treat folks
as if all were their brother
