Liars cheaters everywhere
Surrounding the earth filling the air.
Tearing the universe in two
Why can't you just be you?
You push at the very seams
And try to crack all our means
We can try to forgive
If you promise us we can live.
You hold us-encase us in your lies
How can we break the ties?
You say your words are true?
The how come there are so many versions of 'you'
The world will crumble and it will fall
Before you refuse to stand so tall.
So stop it. All of you out there.
Please. I beg you, beg you just to care.

That was really nice! I love rhyming poems even if some peple think they are kiddish. Your poem conveys its message effectively and is a good read. keep writing!
