People who say love is beautiful have either never experienced it,
or are indeed pyromaniacs.
Love is chaos, not the beautiful kind.

When children go hungry;
And even water is scarce,
When they have no shoes
And no country leader cares.
When school is too expensive
And illness goes unchecked,
Whose cause advances
As the economy is wrecked?

Greed is often the reason
If you ask yourself why.
Neglect and starvation
Makes the angels cry.

When parents neglect children
And seem to easily forget
That animals are not children
And children are not pets.
Everyone needs love and care
And a feeling they belong.
Any other treatment of them
In every culture is wrong.

Power can be made evil
For those who live by a lie.
People used as chattel
Makes the angels cry.

Some of us feel so lost
Overrun by a busy crowd
Seem to find our days are
Covered by a dark cloud.
Our old ones suffer alone
In tiny rooms of shame.
Our goal-oriented society
Seems to forget their name.

So, there is your answer,
You need not ask why.
Yes is the answer.
Indeed, angels do cry.

I realised I don't care
as much as I'm supposed
to, and that scares me.

Poor, poor angry soul.
What's the secret to your control?
Like Banner said staring blankly.
"There is no secret.... I'm always angry."

Angry about what the world has become.
Why society only favors some?
We are becoming a people without love.
Following the eagle instead of the dove.

Angry about the reason poverty thrives
Why the rich get richer like they're breaking out in hives?
Angry about our economy breaking down.
Doesn't matter who's fault it is...
White, Black, Yellow or Brown.

Angry about why people can't find a job.
Leaving them to beg, borrow, steal and rob.
I could go on and on just hope I'm not on my own.
But for now I'll leave well enough alone.

you are a loved one held so dear
you are a monster hiding under my bed, fear

you are storm causing so much pain
you are blood pumping through these veins

you are thoughts unthinkable
you are my suicide, it's not fixable

you are words that I don't speak
you are nightmares that I have bleak

you are emotions unfelt
you are numbness undealt

you are tears streaming down
you are feelings so renown

you are my anger not shown
you are a hit never thrown

you are jealously oh so green
you are envy that should never be seen

you are the one who is not to blame
you are not me who ruins everything, that not my aim
