Darkened Views
~By Matt Russell
As I stroll down the streets in the world today
I bear witness to the cruelty of us,
See what people we truly are
And I can think of nothing positive to say.I know people think my opinion is darker then should
To them I send out a dare,
Go ahead and say that I am wrong
But is it really something you could?Is society in some sort of denial
Of how truly bad things have become,
If not how can it let the world be ignored
How can it just sit there and smile?All around us the world is dying
And yet you simply do not care,
After all what business is it of yours
Since you are not the one left crying?Oh how this can infuriate me to no end
Causing me to scream in despair,
I so wish I could do something to change it
But really how much can one soul mend?Is this cause even worth fighting for
Considering all the misery we have caused,
Where are our actions justified
Who’s to say we are deserving of something more?I guess in the end my point has already gone stale
And to hope for more is just desperation,
But at least I can hold onto this one fact
Least I’m not the one hiding behind the veil.
