TEARS

CRYING!
WHY ARE YOU CRYING?
THERE ARE TEARS IN YOUR EYES?
DO YOU SEE
THINGS THAT OTHERS SHOULD SEE?
VIOLENCE AND CRIMES
RAMPANT IN THE TOWN
NO WHERE TO FEEL SAFE
TO TAKE A NAP!
CHILDREN DISAPPEAR
RIGHT OUT OF THEIR BEDS
PEOPLE ARE ROBBED 
WHILE ASLEEP IN THEIR HOMES
VIOLENCE AND MORE
IS ALL I CAN SEE
HATRED ABOUNDS
IS THERE REALLY A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN YOU AND ME?
I FEEL PAIN WHEN
I’M HIT BY A CAR
DRIVEN BY A DRUNK
I’M SURE YOU
FEEL THE SAME
IN THIS WORLD
WE CREATED
IT’S TIME TO
TAKE A LOOK
AND CHANGE FROM
VIOLENCE TO LOVE
UNLESS WE WANT TO BE
DESTROYED BY EACH OTHER
UNTIL THE WORLD IS NO MORE.

You seem to focus on the negativity and not see the good things about life. I try to look at the good things. I avoid reading the paper and watching the news and I am a lot happier. Sure there is violence in the world but there is a lot of wonderful things too. Stay away from the news you will be a lot happier person.

Wow, I love this. Brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for this as it is beautiful. Love,

Soul-wrenching. What a great outlet for the things you are feeling. I hope that by writing it out and sharing with us, you can work your way through this darkness that is trying to settle on you.

It is important to be aware of the violence in the world, and to live in reality. Not reading the paper or watching the news is apathetic and unrealistic. Seeing what problems are out there helps us to be aware in order to change it.
