This World

Love, love?
I can't hear your name.
There's too many gunshots
And the world's going insane.

Peace, peace?
Are you there?
The world needs you
And people are scared.

Hope, hope?
Is that even a word?
Bombs are going off
And children's cries can't be heard.

Freedom, freedom!
Can you hear me calling?
People are being beaten
And slaves are bawling.

We need to turn this world around.
Not later, right now.
But the question is how?

We can work together hand in hand.
We can work together to save our land.

I was watching the news one day and everything I was watching was bad, and it inspired me to write this poem.
