American Not much about me.
Eh, what? Some innocent people in Syria were shot by solders? Um..... I don't care. That's their problem, not mine. Besides, I don't even know them. Eh, what? Some drug cartels in Mexico slaughtered some people in the middle of the street? Um..... I don't care. That's their problem, not mine. Besides, I don't even know them. Eh, what? People are starving in Ethiopia? Um..... I don't care. That's their problem, not mine. Besides, I don't even know them. Eh, What? Some guy ***** some lady in Detroit? Um..... I don't care. That's her problem, not mine. Besides, I don't even know her. Eh, What? People in Greenland are suffering because the ice is melting? Um..... I don't care. That's their problem, not mine. Besides, I don't even know them. WHAT?!?!? I just got beat up by some group of guys! I hate everybody! Ugh!! People are monsters!!!

Monster
When you love yourself and others, you're a philanthropist. When you love yourself but hate others, you're arrogant. When you hate both yourself and others, you're a misanthrope. When you hate yourself but love others, you're lost. When you can't make up your mind on both, you're lazy and out of touch. Choose yours.

Flash! Bang! Crack! Puff! In an instant In one moment History is gone like the wind Like the cries of prisoners who yell "Save us!" But me...me, I look, smile and wonder So I walk with my lighters With my gasoline and my torches Ready and willing to wipe out a "Sanctuary" This "place s of residence," this "castle" Or so they say.... So the fires dance around wildly, excitingly, Like some liberated dancer on the dance floor Screaming, shouting, "I'm free!" ....But I'm trapped..... Trapped in my frustrations, my fears, and my pain So I unleash it all In one second of glory, of wonder...of freedom... So while your home, your school, your hospital, gives its final farewell to this Earth For once I'm flying So count yourself lucky Because I could've done a while lot worse...

I hate
Some people say that they hate the world and everyone on it.   One question...   Do you hate me?   Some might not reply.   Some might tell me to mind my business   And some will say yes   And those who say yes     One question: How?   How can you hate me when you never met me?   How can you hate me when you haven't got to know me?       They'll reply "Oh, all of you are alike."   No   No, we all aren't alike   You use that as an excuse   Not to get to know anyone   To wallow in your hate.   A hate based on ignorance   Cause its easy to hate   Easy to be ignorant   But its hard to forgive.   To understand.       You think you know me   But you don't   You never took the time to get to know me   If you did, you'd never say the things you say       You've been hurt, I know   That doesn't mean you shouldn't pick yourself back up   And you can't blame everyone   You know you don't hate everyone   You're just angry and confused   So you lash out at everyone   Exacerbating the problem.     You don't want to take the time to know people   That's the problem   We're full of hate   So we remain distant   Hostile   Suspicious   Afraid       We're too scared to move past our normal lifestyles   Our normal lifestyles of hate and ignorance   We're too scared to change.   Because we don't know what to do afterwards.   After the hate is gone.     Because hate is what we've been raised to grasp.   Hate is what we've been taught to accept.   That nothing could be done to lessen it.   So the hate continues.       Some will criticize me for saying this.   Some will ignore me for saying this.   Some will ridicule me for saying this.   And some will listen to me And change....

Your grandfather died when you were five You never cried Never screamed Never grew a fit Never did anything You felt nothing You tried to make yourself cry You tried to make yourself look sad But really, you were happy One less mouth to feed One less problem to deal with You were fifteen You heard you're parents were getting a divorce You never cried Never screamed Never grew a fit Never did anything You felt nothing You tried to make yourself cry You tried to make yourself look sad But really, you were happy One less mouth to feed One less problem to deal with Now, your mother has died Your seventeen Everyone cried their eyes out Screamed and hollered But you just sat there You never cried Never screamed Never grew a fit Never did anything You felt nothing You tried to make yourself cry You tried to make yourself look sad But really, you were happy One less mouth to feed One less problem to deal with But now they’re coming back Those emotions you said you never had Those emotions you’re tried to hide Because you're not heartless And it’s okay to let it out And its okay to miss them You're not a monster
