Poetry

In my dreams as I sleep
evil of the world begins to creep
slowly in my mind I see
horrid images confronting me.

Death, torture, rape, and lies
crime, drugs, murder, alibis
so much pain, made me sick
how one could do any of it.

Not understanding the violence
why everyone sits in silence
no one willing to fight
standing up for what’s right.

Millions dying everyday
how do we live this way?
A world with so much hate
how’d we get to this state?

Couldn’t take more, let out a scream
waking me from my horrid dream
opened my eyes, astonished to see
nothing changed in front of me.

This hate, pain, and brutality
was all in our reality.
