A cruel, real world

by @jrt100403

BANG! people dead lives wasted minds scarred families mourning more friends weeping How the hell did we come to this? You are going to hell! You are not a boy, you are a girl! It is just a phase! I will not accept this! You are not my child anymore! last deep breath...silence... One life wasted all because of One sentence of an old book all because of the sharpness of hate and the jaws of ignorance How the hell did we come to this? You need to be better than them! You are not trying hard enough! You are not pretty enough! You are not enough! last tear falls like the first raindrop of a storm...then silence One life wasted One dream killed One hope shot down with the arrow of standards How the hell did we come to this? You are ugly! You are not worth it! We do not want you around! You should just go and kill yourself! The world is better of without you! One final leap as the water takes the life One life wasted One treasure lost One novel unfinished One beautiful line, cut by the sharp knife of hatred How the hell did we come to this?   So many lives wasted, so much grief, so much blood/ tears shed, so much sorrow. How much longer, will we let hate be the chief? How many more lives, will we cut short? How many more dreams, will we shoot down? How many more treasures will we loose? How many more unfinished novels? How many more? How much longer? Until we realize We need love to conquer this cruel, real world
