The Sad World We Are

by Kristen   Jun 6, 2005


This world is horridly sad
So many things go wrong
No one stops to think of it
We have pushed it aside far to long

People sit out on the street
And beg for money so that they can buy food
They are slowly starving to death
And yet we pass them by, how rude…

Some people will have sex
A kid was the last thing on their mind
When they find out there is one they kill it
How can you say that murder is kind?

There are people who have major depression
They cut each and every night
People turn them down and make them feel bad
Let me guess…You want to be the cause of their death? Right?

We are out their, having a war
Fighting because for once we were hit
The U.S thinks that their all great, that everyone loves them
But not everyone likes everything, why through such a fit?

There are people that starve themselves
Because they were called fat
Soon their stomachs curve in, so you can count their ribs
Why would anyone want to be the reason for that???

Drug dealers know how to lure us
Right into the druggies game
Little kids can get a hold of them
And before they are old enough, they are already going insane…

Couples still have their little fights
But sometimes it goes past the line
The once pretty, social woman, is now cowardly and covered in bruises
She will never be the same, why should she have to pretend to be fine?

People are killed by others
There are many ways it can come
A knife, a gun, a rope, or just a few hard hits
Why would someone hate some much, and do something that dumb?

This world is not perfect…
That I hope you can plainly see
There are so many problems
And yet we still leave these things be

    The world is twisted and filled with ironies. I don't understand it at all. I love the truth to your poem, easy 5.
