Our World
Sleep, you evade me
 All around me, they snore
 Cozy in a nice dream
 Can I take much more?
 
 Alone with my thoughts
 To help pass the time
 Moonlight gleams through my window
 For awhile, it is all mine
 
 The stars are too few
 In the light-dark sky
 With nothing to wish upon 
 I slowly begin to cry
 
 What has this world come to?
 Pollution paints what once was treasured
 Media and greed locks itself in our minds
 Steadily, we crack under their pressure
 
 Good men and women
 Fighting pointless wars
 And being your true self 
 Isn’t cool anymore
 
 Girls who have sex are “sluts”
 Guys who don’t are “losers”
 Labels are lightly tossed around
 Like nerd, jock, dork, emo and boozer
 
 If a girl eats
 She can’t be thin
 And a gay man
 Isn’t really a “him”
 
 Music is virtually pointless 
 All about sex, glamour, and fame
 No emotion is involved 
 It’s all just the same
 
 Something cool and popular
 Fades into the next new thing
 Nothing is forever
 Not even the diamond in the ring
 
 Kids are starving
 People live in the streets
 Why can’t anyone
 Help them to their feet?
 
 People can’t stay together
 And they have no time to spare
 Kids have no true home
 Their parents don’t seem to care
 
 Religion is shrinking faster than ever
 Morals no longer exist
 People do anything and everything 
 For their next adrenalin fix
 
 Monsters are everywhere
 In forms of weapons and drugs
 It has spread so much
 To even those we love
 
 Our world is full of chaos
 Envy and greed, Love and hate
 Can we stop it all
 Before it’s too late?
