That's Life

by Dominique   Mar 30, 2006


Green grass, Blue skies
Sick people, Sad goodbyes
Dark days, Empty nights
People dying, Violent fights
Frightened kids, Scared moms
Divorced parents, Lost bonds
Starving children, bloodthirsty thugs
Innocent victims, Kids with drugs
Devil worshippers, Constant crime
Shot of a gun, nothing is fine
Confused youth, careless adults
Child abuse, countless faults
Selling drugs, peer pressure
Spreading AIDS, prostitute pleasure
Daily abduction, victims of rape
So much pain, Few ever escape
Turning to suicide, Ending a life
Psycho path killers, Blade of a knife
Agony of loss, A broken heart
Painful love, Being ripped apart
Homeless people, The joy of hurting
A love child, So many uncertain
Pregnant teens, Unstoppable STD's
Ashamed heritage, So many wannabes
Sibling hatred, Dangerous obsessions
Opinionated critics, Unwanted suggestions
Killing family, Betraying friends
As today begins, Yesterday ends
Hopeless tomorrow, Doubtful future
Destroying the mind, Sickening humor
Never-ending sickness, Too much disease
Does it ever stop? Someone tell me please
Animal torture, A newborns cry
Abandoned infants, Do we even try?
Sleeping around, Simply for lust
Deceitful lovers, Losing all trust
Breaking the law, Getting away
Courtroom injustice, It's the victims who pay
Who is wrong? Who is right?
Criminals admired? Have we lost sight
Broken families, Few who pray
The doubtful outlook, Getting by each day
Forgotten morals, Money hungry fools
Disgraceful greed, Those who use
So many questions
Yet so few answers
The wanting to know
Happens much faster
When did it happen?
How did it start?
Who is to blame..
For letting our world fall apart?
